Computer MCP Server

local only

Computer MCP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. Last commit 19 Sep 2026.

macOS computer use with the guardrails on: passwords blacked out, writes need consent, all logged.

Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Computer MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add computer-mcp -- npx -y @agent360/computer-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

  "mcpServers": {

        "-y",
        "@agent360/computer-mcp"

    }

}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: CMCP_MODE (readonly | ask (default) | allow), CMCP_ASK_TIMEOUT (Seconds a consent dialog waits before refusing. Default 60.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Computer MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Computer MCP?
Computer MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @agent360/computer-mcp.
How do I connect Computer MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @agent360/computer-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
Is Computer MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript, 1 stars on GitHub and 4 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
