MCP server that gives any LLM its own computer — managed Docker workspaces with live browser, terminal, code execution, document skills, and autonomous sub-agents. Self-hosted, open-source, pluggable into any model.
ARCHIVED. This repository is no longer developed or maintained. It receives no fixes, no security updates and no dependency updates, and issues and pull requests are closed. Do not run it in production. Open Computer Use was a proof of concept for giving an LLM a real computer. Its successor is Wide Moat: Open WebUI with Open Terminal, a browser, and a Kubernetes sandbox isolated with gVisor, with ingress sidecars and egress through a MITM proxy. The isolation and credential-handling problems listed under Known limitations are addressed in that architecture, not in this codebase. Try it at ai.lab.widemoat.ai. The code stays available under FSL-1.1-Apache-2.0: use it, fork it, self-host it. Each release converts to Apache-2.0 two years after publication.

Questions
What is the Open Computer Use MCP server?
ARCHIVED — superseded by Wide Moat
What tools does Open Computer Use expose?
4 in total: 3 read-only, 1 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is Open Computer Use safe to connect to an agent?
No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it F (34/100) and found 5 critical or high issues in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on.
What credentials does Open Computer Use need?
It reads ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN, API_KEY, AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY, MCP_API_KEY, MCP_TOKENS_API_KEY, MCP_TOKENS_URL, OCU_TEST_MCP_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, OPENROUTER_API_KEY and VISION_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 Open Computer Use run?
It speaks streamable-http, so it runs as a service you connect to over the network. It is published on npm as open-computer-use at 1.0.0.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (ffa0c07e9a35), read on 2026-10-07. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
