open-computer-use

open-computer-use

Cross-platform npm distribution for the open-source Open Computer Use MCP server.

This package bundles native runtimes for these supported platforms and lets the Node launcher choose the current process.platform / process.arch pair:

• darwin-arm64
• darwin-x64
• linux-arm64
• linux-x64
• win32-arm64
• win32-x64

Global command aliases:

• open-computer-use
• ocu
• open-computer-use-mcp
• open-codex-computer-use-mcp

Install

npm install -g open-computer-use

The root launcher resolves the current process.platform / process.arch pair and runs the matching bundled native runtime.

MCP config

If your MCP client accepts a stdio-style mcpServers JSON config, this is the default setup:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "open-computer-use": {
      "command": "open-computer-use",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}
