computer-use

computer-use is an MCP server for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode from trycua/cua. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

An MCP server named computer-use that provides computer-control functions to an AI agent. MCP is a standard way for an agent to call tools provided by another program.

In plain words
What is it for?
Providing computer interaction capabilities to an agent configured to use this server.
Why use it?
It connects an agent to computer-use actions without requiring those actions to be built into the agent itself.

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else.

About the project

trycua/cua is a toolkit for building and testing AI agents that operate computers by seeing screens, clicking controls, and typing across operating systems and virtual machines. It serves agent developers, benchmark authors, and teams generating training data for computer-use models. Catalogue add-ons provide ways to operate Cua drivers and related agent workflows.

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode.

Security

Grade A, and why

computer-use 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 5d 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.

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.
