💻 Give AI models complete control of your computer (probably a bad idea)
# Add to your Claude Code skills
git clone https://github.com/domdomegg/computer-use-mcp💻 An model context protocol server for Claude to control your computer. This is very similar to computer use, but easy to set up and use locally.
Here's Claude Haiku 4.5 changing my desktop background (4x speed):

[!WARNING] At time of writing, models make frequent mistakes and are vulnerable to prompt injections. As this MCP server gives the model complete control of your computer, this could do a lot of damage. You should therefore treat this like giving a hyperactive toddler access to your computer - you probably want to supervise it closely, and consider only doing this in a sandboxed user account.
Run:
claude mcp add --scope user --transport stdio computer-use -- npx -y computer-use-mcp
This installs the server at user scope (available in all projects). To install locally (current directory only), omit --scope user.
