Clawtouch MCP

A standalone Python process that speaks Model Context Protocol (MCP) over stdio and exposes mouse / keyboard primitives - hid.click, hid.type, hid.scroll, key combos, hid.screenshot - to whatever AI agent you already use. Under the hood it talks over USB serial to a ClawTouch HID device (a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 running the open ClawTouch HID firmware, or any turnkey ClawTouch box) and translates each tool call into a…. Its 18 documented tools cover hid, mouse, button, device.

People who work with hid, mouse and button and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Clawtouch MCP

before you install - you'll need

The README does not document required environment variables for a basic install.

Claude Code

claude mcp add tinqiao-oss-clawtouch-mcp -- uvx clawtouch-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tinqiao-oss-clawtouch-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "clawtouch-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

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 clawtouch-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.tinqiao-oss is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
