7 TOOLS AVAILABLE
OUR ASSESSMENT
- 5,482 GitHub stars.
- 86 commits on main in the last 30 days. Top cadence among computer-use MCPs.
- MIT license.
- Direct Windows API integration; no external automation frameworks required.
- OCR built-in via read_text.
- Windows-only.
- Computer use carries inherent operational risk; agent prompt path needs strict review.
- Click and type are pixel/window-level operations; UI changes break flows.
Computer-use tools inherit the full user session permission. Treat the agent flow as having complete local-user privileges. Run in a dedicated Windows VM or sandbox for production agent flows. Screenshot tools can capture sensitive on-screen content; review what UI is visible during agent execution.
Windows-only legacy app automation; agents that fill in Windows desktop forms; QA flows on Windows where browser automation cannot reach native UI; ops scripts driven by an agent against on-prem Windows tools.

SOURCES & VERIFICATION
We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 4 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.
The same server, 4 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
