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.
