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.

01 · Install Omni Computer Use

Claude Code

claude mcp add jason26214-omni-computer-use -- uvx omni-computer-use-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jason26214-omni-computer-use": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "omni-computer-use-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

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
