install open-computer-use on Claude Desktop

Requires the runtime declared in the upstream repo — check the README before running. Claude Desktop only speaks stdio locally; HTTP servers are wrapped via npx mcp-remote automatically. Paste the config below, then follow the reload step to register open-computer-use.

paste into
macos: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "open-computer-use": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "open-computer-use"
      ]
    }
  }
}
then: Quit Claude Desktop completely (Cmd/Ctrl+Q) and reopen it.
