## Claude Desktop Configuration

Add to your Claude Desktop config file:

**Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
**macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`

### If installed via npm:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ooda-computer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mnehmos.ooda.mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

### If installed from source:

```json

  "mcpServers": {
    "ooda-computer": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mnehmos.ooda.mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}
```

## OODA Loop Pattern

The tools are designed around the OODA (Observe-Orient-Decide-Act) loop:

### Observe
- `screenshot` - Capture screen or region (returns base64 or saves to file)
- `get_screen_info` - Get display/monitor information
- `wait_for_screen_change` - Detect when screen content changes
- `list_windows` - See all open applications
- `get_active_window` - Know current focus
- `clipboard_read` - Check clipboard contents

### Orient
- Use CRUD tools to store/retrieve context and state
- `file_info`, `search_files` - Understand filesystem state
- `list_processes`, `get_system_info` - Understand system state

### Decide
- Built into Claude's reasoning between observations
- CRUD database for persistent decision context

### Act
- `keyboard_type`, `keyboard_shortcut` - Type and use hotkeys
- `mouse_click`, `mouse_move`, `mouse_drag` - Mouse control
- `focus_window`, `launch_application` - Window control
- `clipboard_write` - Set clipboard content
- `notify` - System notifications

## Generic Batch Dispatcher

The `batch_tools` dispatcher can execute ANY tool in batch mode with unified safety limits:

```json
{
  "tool": "batch_tools",
  "args": {
    "operations": [
      { "tool": "read_file", "args": { "path": "src/index.ts" }, "label": "main" },
      { "tool": "file_info", "args": { "path": "package.json" }, "label": "pkg" },
      { "tool": "exec_cli", "args": { "command": "git status --short" }, "label": "git" }
    ],
    "executionMode": "parallel"
  }
}
```

### Execution Modes

| Mode | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `parallel` | All operations run concurrently (default) |
| `sequential` | Operations run one after another, supports `stopOnError` |

### Safety Limits

Configurable via `~/.mcp/config.json` or per-request:

| Limit | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| `maxOperations` | 50 | Max operations per batch |
| `maxAggregateChars` | 200000 | Total output size limit |
| `maxLinesPerFile` | 500 | Per-file line truncation |
| `timeout` | 30000 | Per-operation timeout (ms) |

## Batch Operations

Most tools have dedicated batch versions for parallel execution:

```
batch_exec_cli      - Multiple commands in parallel
batch_read_files    - Multiple files in parallel
batch_write_files   - Multiple files in parallel
batch_copy_files    - Multiple copies in parallel
crud_batch_create   - Multiple records in parallel
...
```

Or use the generic `batch_tools` dispatcher to batch ANY tool.

Batch operations return structured results:
```json
{
  "summary": { "total": 5, "successful": 4, "failed": 1, "elapsed_ms": 23 },
  "results": [
    { "index": 0, "success": true, "result": {...} },
    { "index": 1, "success": false, "error": "..." }
  ]
}
```
