Questions
What is the Windows MCP server?
MCP Server for Computer Use in Windows
Is Windows safe to connect to an agent?
With care. The audit graded it B (82/100) and found 10 things worth knowing before you trust this server, listed below with the exact line each was found on.
What credentials does Windows need?
It reads POSTHOG_API_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.
How does Windows run?
It speaks stdio and streamable-http, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on PyPI as windows-mcp.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (c38da87c0a09), read on 2026-09-13. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
