Quick Usage (MCP Setup Using uvx)
Note: Running uvx computer-control-mcp@latest for the first time will download python dependencies (around 70MB) which may take some time. Recommended to run this in a terminal before using it as MCP. Subsequent runs will be instant.
{
"mcpServers": {
"computer-control-mcp": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["computer-control-mcp@latest"]
}
}
}
OR install globally with pip:
pip install computer-control-mcp
Then run the server with:
computer-control-mcp # instead of uvx computer-control-mcp, so you can use the latest version, also you can `uv cache clean` to clear the cache and `uvx` again to use latest version.
