windows-computer-use-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

windows-computer-use-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from sshh12/windows-computer-use-mcp. It costs 2,413 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Developer instructions for a Windows desktop-control MCP server. The server lets an AI assistant view screens, send native mouse and keyboard input, record video, and test apps, games, and browsers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Guiding development of multi-monitor capture, computer input, recording, text or interface-tree reading, and play-testing workflows on Windows.
Why use it?
It gives agents the repository’s intended design, commands, architecture, and important constraints to follow while changing the code.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

windows-computer-use-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

What this is

A Windows computer-use MCP server (Python + FastMCP, stdio) that gives an agent full control of the local Windows desktop: multi-monitor screen capture, native input injection, video recording, and a play-test loop. It runs ON the machine it controls (no resolution requests) and is built to work universally across native apps, games, and browsers. No security gating — full agent control by design.

Design principles (the decisions behind the surface — preserve these)

  • Universal input is a hard requirement. Capture and input must work for native apps, games, AND browser/canvas games — no fullscreen workarounds, no per-app special-casing. If something works only for one class of app, it isn't done.
  • The agent is the user; tokens are the scarce resource. Map tools to workflows (7 tools, not 35), batch input to cut round-trips, and prefer non-image reads (window get_text/ui_tree, OCR) over screenshots whenever text is enough. Return a single contact-sheet montage, never N frames. Downscale to 1568; write video/large output to a file, never inline.
  • Mirror the native computer_20251124 vocabulary (left_click, type, key, scroll, drag…) so the model is fluent on the first try.
  • Correctness beats cleverness in the capture/coordinate path. capture_id makes a stale-frame click a loud error, not a silent mis-click; only screenshot sets the click frame; never steal keyboard focus to take a picture (PrintWindow captures in place).
  • Just-in-time feedback in tool results. When something looks wrong, the result should teach the agent the fix (which window received keyboard input; the browser-canvas hint; black-frame warnings) — don't rely on the static description alone.
  • Read the real machine; never request a resolution. Multi-monitor + per-monitor DPI are first-class (the server controls the local desktop, unlike the sandboxed cloud tool).
  • Validate against reality. Iterate via headless claude -p agents running the latest code, and make tool-eval runs bail early and diagnose rather than flail.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
