This project reproduces the Codex Computer Use tool surface with a Node MCP server and a native Swift helper so any MCP client that supports local stdio servers can use a similar interface on macOS. Requirements - macOS - Node.js 20+ recommended - Xcode Command Line Tools with swift - a host app with: - Accessibility permission - Screen Recording permission For most source installs, the host app is whichever app launches the MCP server, for example: - Terminal - iTerm - Warp - Codex - Cursor Install From npm: From the repo root for development: Permissions Setup Grant permissions to the app that will launch the MCP server. Examples: - if you run it from Terminal, enable Terminal - if you run it from Codex, enable Codex - if you run it from Cursor, enable Cursor macOS settings to enable: 1. System Settings Privacy & Security Accessibility 2. System Settings Privacy & Security Screen Recording or Screen & System Audio Recording After changing permissions, fully restart the host app. Run Recommended source-development path: Installed package path: Alternative CLI backend: The native-helper backend is the default path. The CLI backend exists mainly for comparison and fallback.
