Computer MCP Server

local only

Computer MCP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 60 installs a week from npm. Last commit 7 Nov 2026.

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

What the code does

We read the source, 6 d ago · rules 995398eba69f

A tool parameter reaches a dangerous call

A value the model can set ends up inside a file or shell call. That is not a flaw by itself — for a terminal server it is the job — but it is where things go wrong when it is not.

A tool parameter reaches a dangerous call computer_record.maxSeconds → mcp-server/index.js:328, computer_permissions.app → mcp-server/index.js:458
  const barn = spawn(hj, a, { stdio: ['ignore', 'pipe', 'pipe'] });
Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Runs a command on install [пакет] package.json:1
postinstall: node bin/postinstall.js || true
Runs an external command [пакет] helper.js:39, mcp-server/helper.js:104, mcp-server/index.js:801 и ещё 1
    execFile(bin, args, { timeout, maxBuffer: 32 * 1024 * 1024 }, (err, stdout, stderr) => {
In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

Runs an external command .github/mutant-porte.py:18
        k = subprocess.run(['node', proeve], capture_output=True, text=True, timeout=600, env={**os.environ, 'TMPDIR': tmp + '/'})
        el.innerHTML = html;

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

A tool parameter here reaches a dangerous call

That is not a flaw by itself — but it is where things go wrong when it is not the job. We re-read this code on every release. Watch it and you hear from us the day another one appears.

Connect this server

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.

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 was installed 60 times last week.
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 in the form 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.
How many people use Computer MCP?
The npm package @agent360/computer-mcp was installed 60 times in the last week. Week over week that is +3%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Computer MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript, 1 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
