Omni Computer Use MCP Server
A faithful 1:1 replica of Anthropic's official computer-use tool surface - shipped as a plain MCP server for Windows. It lets 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. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
People who work with automation, computer use and windows and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

02 · Evidence
Security posture
What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.
runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions
license MIT - declared in the repository
pypi package omni-computer-use-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)
registry namespace io.github.Jason26214 is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
03 · What Omni Computer Use can do
Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.
What you can build
An agent gets 2 documented tools across deactivate, display, including deactivate, display_overview.
The 2 tools it gives your agent
Extracted from the project's README - what omni-computer-use lets an agent do.
- 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
