💻 Give AI models complete control of your computer (probably a bad idea)

This MCP server allows Claude to control your computer locally, similar to Anthropic's computer use but easier to set up. It uses nut.js for computer interaction and supports keyboard shortcuts for better reliability. The server can be installed via npx and integrated with various clients like Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Cline.

    The "probably a bad idea" tagline is honest but it's also very useful for sandboxed automation.

    Good for UI automation tasks where no API exists.

    Works in sandboxed VMs where giving the AI full control is acceptable.

    Complete computer control via MCP — screenshot, click, type, scroll, all there.
