Why we included this project

Most AI agents can read a screen; fewer can actually click. open-computer-use wraps desktop automation as an MCP service, so any MCP client like Codex, Claude Code, or Gemini CLI can list open apps, read the active window, and send real clicks and keystrokes through the OS accessibility layer instead of pixel matching. That approach works on macOS, Linux, and Windows, with only a one-time permission grant needed on Apple platforms. If you're tired of scripting brittle GUI automations for install flows, form filling, or test apps, this gives you a cross-platform way to let an agent drive the desktop directly. The npm package also includes an `ocu` CLI for scripting and inspecting actions outside an agent.
