Local MCP server for desktop automation: mouse, keyboard, screen, windows, and processes.
Local MCP server for desktop automation: mouse, keyboard, screen, windows, and processes. That is what the computer use mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server in Go for computer automation. Uses robotgo library for desktop automation.
The server publishes 14 tools. What each one is for:
mouse_move — Move cursor to absolute coordinatesmouse_move_smooth — Smooth cursor movement (human-like)mouse_move_relative — Relative cursor movementmouse_get_position — Get current cursor positionmouse_click — Mouse clickmouse_click_at — Move and clickmouse_toggle — Press/release mouse buttonmouse_drag — Drag operationmouse_drag_smooth — Smooth drag operationmouse_scroll — Scrollmouse_scroll_direction — Scroll in directionmouse_scroll_smooth — Smooth scrollThe server ships on npm as The, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Computer Use's toolset — mouse_move, mouse_move_smooth, mouse_move_relative and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by hightemp; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
