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.

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.

Open Computer Use — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Open Computer Use?

Open 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.

Is Open Computer Use open source?

We cannot say either way: written in Python, 122 stars on GitHub and 42 open issues, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
