# Munim Computer Use

An MCP server that lets a coding agent read the screen and drive apps: background clicks and typing while your mouse stays free.

## What it does

The agent gets the accessibility tree of the open window, so buttons and fields arrive as elements with ids rather than pixels. It starts with `get_app_state`, acts on an element id, then checks the outcome with `screenshot`. No vision model is needed for interaction.

macOS, Windows and Linux are supported. Input happens in the background, which leaves your own cursor usable while the agent works. There is also an agent pointer showing where it is acting, plus zoom for small text. The server can drive tabs in your signed-in Chrome. Two settings, `COMPUTER_USE_BROWSER` and `COMPUTER_USE_AGENT_CURSOR`, are passed as environment variables when you register the server.

On macOS you must grant Accessibility and Screen Recording first; run `munim-computer-use request-permissions` once by hand. Without those permissions the agent can neither see the screen nor press anything. Windows and Linux skip that step.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Environment variables: `COMPUTER_USE_BROWSER`, `COMPUTER_USE_AGENT_CURSOR` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Platform CLI**
```bash
claude mcp add --env COMPUTER_USE_BROWSER=<COMPUTER_USE_BROWSER> --env COMPUTER_USE_AGENT_CURSOR=<COMPUTER_USE_AGENT_CURSOR> --transport stdio munim-computer-use -- npx -y munim-computer-use
```
Replace <…> with your own values

### Codex

**Platform CLI**
```bash
codex mcp add munim-computer-use --env COMPUTER_USE_BROWSER=<COMPUTER_USE_BROWSER> --env COMPUTER_USE_AGENT_CURSOR=<COMPUTER_USE_AGENT_CURSOR> -- npx -y munim-computer-use
```
Replace <…> with your own values

### Cursor

**Config file**
File `.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "munim-computer-use": {

            "args": [
                "-y",
                "munim-computer-use"
            ],
            "env": {
                "COMPUTER_USE_BROWSER": "<COMPUTER_USE_BROWSER>",
                "COMPUTER_USE_AGENT_CURSOR": "<COMPUTER_USE_AGENT_CURSOR>"
            }
        }
    }
}
```
Replace <…> with your own values

### GitHub Copilot

**Config file**
File `.vscode/mcp.json`:

            }
        }
    }
}
```

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini mcp add -e COMPUTER_USE_BROWSER=<COMPUTER_USE_BROWSER> -e COMPUTER_USE_AGENT_CURSOR=<COMPUTER_USE_AGENT_CURSOR> munim-computer-use npx -y munim-computer-use
```

## When to use it
- read the state of a program window through its accessibility tree
- click and type without taking the mouse away from the user
- magnify a small piece of text before acting on it
- work through tabs in a Chrome session that is already signed in
- take a screenshot to confirm a step worked

## Example prompts
- Open Safari, find the cheapest Tuesday flight to Denver and put it in a note
- Read the current window with `get_app_state` and press the Export button
- Switch to the order tab in Chrome and check the delivery status
