## About

# windows-computer-use-mcp

  
  
  
  

**A tool for agents, and an agent itself.**

| You | It |
|-----|----|
| Use it as an **MCP server** | Claude, Cursor, DeepSeek call `automation_click`, `automation_screenshot`, `automation_ocr` — 22 tools |
| Use it as an **autonomous agent** | Give it a goal: `automation_mission(run="install app, verify UI, screenshot result")` — it plans, executes, retries, and reports |
| Use it as a **webapp** | `start.ps1` opens a React dashboard at http://127.0.0.1:10788 with HITL, crawler, logging |
| Use it as a **desktop app** | The NSIS installer bundles everything into one binary — no Python, no uv, no git needed |

> **Exhibit A: 100 Tauri/NSIS installers, one unattended run, $2 in LLM costs.** Install, screenshot, verify, report — zero human intervention. That is what agentic Windows automation looks like at scale.

Built on [pywinauto](https://github.com/pywinauto/pywinauto). Read **[docs/SAFETY.md](docs/SAFETY.md)** before production use.

**Browser vs desktop:** This server drives **Win32 / UI Automation**. For HTML/DOM and websites, pair with **[browser-mcp](https://github.com/sandraschi/browser-mcp)** (Playwright). Both MCPs can run side by side — use one profile that loads both and let the LLM pick the right tool for the target.
