What is the Computer MCP Server?

A 1:1 replica of Claude Desktop's computer-use tool surface, for Windows and the Claude Code CLI.

What you get

A faithful 1:1 replica of Anthropic's official computer-use tool surface — shipped as a plain MCP server for Windows. It lets the Claude Code CLI (or any MCP client) drive the Windows desktop the way Claude Desktop's built-in computer-use does: screenshots, mouse / keyboard / scroll / drag / batch input, clipboard, multi-monitor, and application launch.

What the assistant can call

Once Computer is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • deactivate — end the session without killing the process (glow off, controlling window restored, grants revoked); the counterpart to request_access
  • display_overview — one composite, labeled image of all monitors laid out per the virtual-desktop arrangement (an orientation aid for "which screen is that window on?"

Recorded tools

  • deactivate — end the session without killing the process (glow off, controlling window restored, grants revoked); the counterpart to request_access.
  • display_overview — one composite, labeled image of all monitors laid out per the virtual-desktop arrangement (an orientation aid for "which screen is that window on?"; not a click surface).
