Open Computer Use is an open-source computer automation service that allows AI agents to interact with desktop applications through the Model Context Protocol. It provides a cross-platform alternative to proprietary computer-use tools, supporting macOS, Windows, and Linux. The software uses operating system accessibility interfaces and screen information to help agents interpret and control graphical applications. AI assistants can perform desktop tasks through a standardized computer interaction interface. The project integrates with Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and DeepSeek Harness. It provides installation commands for connecting supported agents and a reusable skill for guiding automation workflows. Its modular architecture enables developers to incorporate desktop control into custom MCP clients.
