How to Set Up and Use Computer Use AI SDK
The Computer Use AI SDK is a Rust-based MCP server and client framework that exposes OS-level computational primitives — launching applications, reading screen content, clicking UI elements, entering text, and pressing keyboard keys — enabling AI agents to automate desktop workflows through the Anthropic Claude API. It provides both a CLI interface and a Next.js web app frontend, and is designed to be combined with other MCP servers to build sophisticated agentic pipelines such as automated data entry, workflow scheduling via cron, and cross-application orchestration.
Prerequisites
- Rust toolchain installed (curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh)
- Node.js and npm installed (v18+ recommended)
- Anthropic API key with Claude access
- Git for cloning the repository
- Linux, macOS, or Windows operating system with desktop GUI
Clone the repository
The Computer Use AI SDK is not published to a package registry — clone it directly from GitHub. The repository contains the Rust MCP server, CLI client, and Next.js web client.
git clone https://github.com/mediar-ai/MCP-server-client-computer-use-ai-sdk.git
cd MCP-server-client-computer-use-ai-sdkSet your Anthropic API key
The server and clients use Claude via the Anthropic API. Export your API key as an environment variable, or add it permanently to your shell profile.
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-your-key-hereBuild and start the Rust MCP server
Compile and run the OS-level MCP server. The first build will take several minutes while Rust compiles dependencies. Subsequent starts are fast.
cd mcp-server-os-level
cargo run --bin serverRun the CLI client interface
With the server running, start the CLI client in a separate terminal. This provides a text interface to send natural language commands that the server executes as OS-level actions.
cd mcp-client-cli-interface
npm install
npx tsx main.tsRun the web app interface (optional)
Alternatively, use the Next.js web frontend for a browser-based interface. Create a .env file with your API key and start the development server.
cd mcp-client-nextjs
npm install
echo "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-your-key-here" > .env
npm run devComputer Use AI SDK Examples
Client configuration (Claude Desktop)
Register the compiled Rust binary as an MCP server in Claude Desktop after running cargo build --release.

Use these prompts to automate desktop tasks through the computer use server.
- "Open the Calculator application and compute 1234 * 5678"
- "Take a screenshot and tell me what applications are currently open"
- "Click on the search bar in the browser and navigate to github.com"
- "Open a text editor, type a summary of today's tasks, and save it as tasks.txt"
- "Read the content of the spreadsheet currently open on screen"
- "Automate filling in the form fields on the current browser page"Troubleshooting Computer Use AI SDK
cargo run fails with compile errors or missing dependencies
Ensure you have the stable Rust toolchain: run `rustup update stable` and `rustup default stable`. On Linux, you may need system libraries: `sudo apt install pkg-config libssl-dev` (Ubuntu/Debian) or equivalent for your distro.
Server starts but AI cannot control desktop applications
On macOS, grant Accessibility permissions to your terminal in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility. On Linux, ensure an X11 or Wayland session is running (the server requires a graphical desktop environment). On Windows, run the server with administrator privileges for broader UI access.
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY not recognized or Claude API returns 401
Verify the key format (should start with sk-ant-) and that it has not expired. Ensure the environment variable is exported in the same shell session where you run the server: `echo $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` should print the key. For the Next.js client, check the .env file is in the mcp-client-nextjs directory.
