What the code does

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.

    desc: Drop all tables, re-run migrations + seeds
  const child = spawn(binaryPath, process.argv.slice(2), {

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

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add go-computer-use-mcp-server -- npx -y go-computer-use-mcp-server
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "go-computer-use-mcp-server": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "go-computer-use-mcp-server"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }

    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: DISPLAY (X11 display to automate on Linux.), XAUTHORITY (Path to the X11 authority file on Linux.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Computer Use — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Computer Use?
Computer Use 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 go-computer-use-mcp-server was installed 34 times last week.
How do I connect Computer Use?
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 go-computer-use-mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Computer Use?
The npm package go-computer-use-mcp-server was installed 34 times in the last week. Week over week that is -47%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Computer Use open source?
We cannot say either way: written in Python and 2 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
