Computer Use AI SDK

This open-source Computer Use AI SDK from screenpipe offers a native macOS solution for AI-driven computer control, avoiding virtual machines and guardrails. It leverages underlying desktop elements instead of pixel-based vision, ensuring faster and more reliable performance.

The SDK includes an MCP server with tools for launching apps, reading content, clicking, entering text, and pressing keys. Developers can build custom agents using the provided Hello World template.

The SDK offers a CLI and a web app interface. The CLI interface is good for debugging and the web app interface is good for general use.

To get started, clone the repository and install Rust and Node.js. Run the backend server and then choose either the CLI or web app interface, setting your Anthropic API key. The MCP Inspector can be used to test tools.

Potential use cases include building custom workflows, automating computer tasks, saving workflows for cron jobs, and integrating with other MCP servers.
