14	`open-computer-use` is an open-source `Computer Use` service wrapped as `MCP`. Any AI agent or MCP client can use it to run Computer Use on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
15
16	This project was inspired by OpenAI's [Codex Computer Use](https://openai.com/index/codex-for-almost-everything/). It showed that non-intrusive CUA can be built on top of Accessibility, so I decided to build an open-source version.
17
18	I started this repo with my [harness template](https://github.com/iFurySt/harness-template), a template for quickly spinning up AI-first projects. It has been one of our most useful workflows lately, especially for nearly 100% AI-generated projects. I also wrote [a post](https://www.ifuryst.com/blog/2026/speedrunning-the-ai-era/) about the methodology behind it.

39
40	## Quick Start
41
42	```bash
43	npm i -g open-computer-use
44	```
45
46	The npm package also exposes `ocu` as the short CLI alias.
47
48	> [!IMPORTANT]
49	> The macOS runtime requires macOS 14.0 or later.
50
51	On macOS, run it once and grant `Accessibility` and `Screen Recording`. Windows and Linux do not need this step.
52
53	```bash
54	open-computer-use
55	# or
56	ocu
57	```
58
59	Before using it, install it into your agent:
60
61	```bash
62	# Install into Codex by writing to ~/.codex/config.toml
63	open-computer-use install-codex-mcp
64	```
65
66	Or add it to your own client manually:
67
68	```json
69	{
70	"mcpServers": {
71	"open-computer-use": {
72	"command": "open-computer-use",
73	"args": ["mcp"]
74	}
75	}
76	}
77	```
78
79	### Skill
80
81	Install the skill directly:
82
83	```bash
84	# Install for Codex
85	npx skills add iFurySt/open-codex-computer-use -g -a codex --skill open-computer-use -y
86	npx skills ls -g -a codex \| rg 'open-computer-use'
87	```
88
89	Install for Claude Code:
90
91	```bash
92	npx skills add iFurySt/open-codex-computer-use -g -a claude-code --skill open-computer-use -y
93	```
94
95	Update an existing global install, including the Codex install created above:
96
97	```bash
98	npx skills update open-computer-use -g -y
99	```
100
101	You can also manually download and install the
102	[`open-computer-use` skill](./skills/open-computer-use).
103
104	## More
105
106	Besides the MCP JSON config above, you can also use the built-in commands:
107
108	```bash
109	# Install into Codex by writing to ~/.codex/config.toml
110	open-computer-use install-codex-mcp
111	ocu install-codex-mcp
112
113	# Install as a Codex plugin, mainly for Codex App
114	open-computer-use install-codex-plugin
115
116	# Install into Claude Code by writing to ~/.claude.json
117	open-computer-use install-claude-mcp
118
119	# Install into Gemini CLI for the current project by writing to ./.gemini/settings.json
120	open-computer-use install-gemini-mcp
121
122	# Install into Gemini CLI user config
