What's Good

MIT (CursorTouch/Windows-MCP), release v0.8.7, on PyPI. `uvx windows-mcp serve` runs it over stdio; `--transport sse` or `--transport streamable-http` expose it on a local port. Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP client. Uses the accessibility tree, so it works with whatever model you already use. ★~8.4k.

The Catch

Windows only (7 through 11). It drives your real desktop session with full system access — it is not a sandbox, so run it on a machine or VM you are happy to let an agent control, and keep secrets out of reach. The first install can take a minute or two while dependencies resolve, and the very first start may time out once. Vs cua (sandboxed computer-use VMs and SDK) and agent-desktop (desktop automation agent): Windows-MCP is the plain MCP server on the Windows host itself.

Verdict

MIT Windows computer-use MCP when an agent must operate real Windows apps — run it on a disposable machine, never on a desktop you cannot afford to hand over.
