# own-computer-use       A self-hosted MCP server that gives AI agents real control of a Windows PC: screen reading with built-in OCR (Arabic and English), mouse, keyboard, clipboard, and app launching. It runs on any plan, with any client, and blocks every action that could affect the outside world unless you explicitly allow it. Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor, or any MCP client. Python only, no cloud component, no telemetry. ## Why this exists Desktop computer-use features in commercial AI clients are locked behind plans and platforms. The alternative is to host the capability yourself. This is a pair of Python files speaking MCP over stdio. Point your client at it and your machine becomes the tool surface. If you pay per token through your own gateway (`ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`), it works the same. ## What the agent can actually do This is full-machine control, not a browser extension. Anything a person does with a mouse and keyboard, the agent does through these 21 tools. **Every installed program.** Photoshop, CapCut, Premiere, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, OBS, game launchers, your own builds. `computer_open_application` starts them and reports what actually happened; clicks, typing, and hotkeys drive them. **Video and photo editing.** Cut clips in CapCut or Premiere, drag timeline handles with press-hold (`computer_mouse_down_up`), apply filters through menus that need millisecond timing (`computer_batch`), export the result. **Spreadsheets and documents.** Fill Excel cell by cell, format in Word, assemble slide decks, trigger macros with `computer_key`. **Messaging and email.** Read a thread with OCR, draft a…
