# 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

```bash
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:

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