## Quick Start

### Prerequisites

- Python 3.10 or higher
- UV package manager ([Install UV](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv))
- Gemini API key ([Get one here](https://ai.google.dev/))

### Installation (Super Simple!)

**Option A: One-Line Install (PyPI)**
```json
// Add to Claude Desktop config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "computer-use": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["computer-use-mcp"],
      "env": {"GEMINI_API_KEY": "your_key_here"}
    }
  }
}
```
Then: `playwright install chromium` and restart Claude Desktop. Done!

**Option B: Local Development**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/vincenthopf/computer-use-mcp.git
cd computer-use-mcp
uv sync
playwright install chromium
cp .env.sample .env
# Edit .env with your GEMINI_API_KEY
uv run mcp dev server.py
```

The MCP Inspector will open at `http://localhost:6274` where you can test all tools interactively.

### Verification

Run validation tests to ensure everything is set up correctly:
```bash
uv run python3 test_server.py
```

All tests should pass with ✓ markers.


## Installation

### Method 1: UVX (Recommended - One Command)

The simplest way to use this MCP server. Add to your Claude Desktop config (`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` on macOS):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "computer-use": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["computer-use-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GEMINI_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

**That's it!** `uvx` automatically downloads and installs the package from PyPI. Restart Claude Desktop and you're ready to go.

**Note:** You'll also need to install Playwright browsers once:
```bash
playwright install chromium
```

### Method 2: Local Development

For development or contributing:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/vincenthopf/computer-use-mcp.git
cd computer-use-mcp
uv sync
playwright install chromium
cp .env.sample .env
# Edit .env with your GEMINI_API_KEY
uv run mcp dev server.py
```

### Method 3: Direct Git Install

Install directly from GitHub without cloning:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "computer-use": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/vincenthopf/computer-use-mcp.git", "computer-use-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GEMINI_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```


## Configuration

Create a `.env` file in the project root with the following variables:

### Required Configuration

```env
# Gemini API Configuration
GEMINI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
GEMINI_MODEL=gemini-2.5-computer-use-preview-10-2025
```

### Optional Configuration

```env
# Browser Configuration
SCREEN_WIDTH=1440        # Recommended by Google (don't change)
SCREEN_HEIGHT=900        # Recommended by Google (don't change)
HEADLESS=false           # Set to 'true' for faster headless mode

# Output Configuration
SCREENSHOT_OUTPUT_DIR=output_screenshots
```

**Note:** Screen resolution of 1440x900 is optimized for Gemini's Computer Use model. Other resolutions may degrade performance.


## Usage

### Synchronous Workflow

For quick tasks that complete in under 10 seconds, use the synchronous `browse_web` tool:

```python
# Example: Quick product search
result = browse_web(
    task="Go to Amazon and find the top 3 gaming laptops with prices",
    url="https://www.amazon.com"
)

# Response includes full results and progress history
{
    "ok": true,
    "data": "Found top 3 gaming laptops...",
    "session_id": "20251017_143022_abc123",
    "screenshot_dir": "output_screenshots/20251017_143022_abc123",
    "progress": [
        {"timestamp": "...", "type": "info", "message": "Started browser automation"},
        {"timestamp": "...", "type": "turn", "message": "Turn 1/30"},
        {"timestamp": "...", "type": "function_call", "message": "Action: navigate"}
    ]
}
```

### Asynchronous Workflow

For long-running tasks (15+ seconds), use the async workflow to monitor progress:

**Step 1: Start the task**
```python
result = start_web_task(
    task="Research top 10 AI companies and compile details",
    url="https://www.google.com"
)
# Returns immediately with task_id
# {"task_id": "abc-123-def", "status": "running"}
```

**Step 2: Check progress**
```python
# Wait 5 seconds
wait(5)

# Check status (compact mode - recommended)
status = check_web_task(task_id="abc-123-def", compact=true)

# Response shows recent progress summary
{
    "ok": true,
    "task_id": "abc-123-def",
    "status": "running",
    "progress_summary": {
        "total_steps": 12,
        "recent_actions": [
            "Turn 8/30",
            "Action: type_text_at",
            "Action: click_at"
        ]
    },
    "recommended_poll_after": "2025-01-17T14:30:15Z"
}
```

**Step 3: Get final result**
```python
# Continue polling until status is "completed"
final = check_web_task(task_id="abc-123-def")

# When completed, result field contains data
{
    "ok": true,
    "status": "completed",
    "result": {
        "ok": true,
        "data": "Compiled research on 10 AI companies...",
        "session_id": "..."
    }
}
```

### How It Works

1. **Task Submission:** MCP client sends natural language task + optional URL
2. **Browser Launch:** Playwright launches Chromium (1440x900 viewport)
3. **Gemini Loop:** Screenshot → Gemini vision analysis → Browser actions → Screenshot (repeat)
4. **Completion:** Gemini returns text response when task is complete
5. **Cleanup:** Browser closed, screenshots saved to session directory


## Browser Actions

The Gemini Computer Use API supports 13 browser automation actions:

| Action | Description | Example Use |
|--------|-------------|-------------|
| `navigate` | Go to a URL | Navigate to https://example.com |
| `click_at` | Click at normalized coordinates (0-999) | Click button at position (500, 300) |
| `hover_at` | Hover at normalized coordinates | Hover over menu item |
| `type_text_at` | Type text at coordinates | Type search query in input field |
| `key_combination` | Press keyboard combinations | Press Enter, Ctrl+A, etc. |
| `scroll_document` | Page-level scrolling | Scroll down one page |
| `scroll_at` | Scroll at specific coordinates | Scroll within specific element |
| `drag_and_drop` | Drag from source to destination | Reorder list items |
| `go_back` | Navigate backward in history | Return to previous page |
| `go_forward` | Navigate forward in history | Go to next page |
| `search` | Navigate to Google search | Start a Google search |
| `wait_5_seconds` | Wait 5 seconds | Wait for dynamic content |
| `open_web_browser` | No-op (browser already open) | - |

**Coordinate System:** Gemini uses a normalized 1000x1000 grid. The agent automatically converts to actual pixels based on your screen resolution.


## Performance

### Benchmark Results

| Task Type | Duration | Turns | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------|-------------|
| Simple | 5-8 seconds | 1-2 | Navigate to a page, verify content |
| Medium | 20-40 seconds | 5-8 | Search, click, extract information |
| Complex | 60-120 seconds | 15-30 | Multi-step workflows, data compilation |

### Optimization Strategies

**Before Optimization:**
- 6 seconds wait after every action
- `networkidle` page loads (waits for all network requests)
- 3 screenshots captured per turn
- Sequential action execution

**After Optimization:**
- 0.3-3 seconds conditional waits (navigation only)
- `domcontentloaded` page loads (DOM ready)
- 1 screenshot per turn (reused for all responses)
- Parallel function execution when possible

**Performance Improvement:** 4-5x faster execution

### Latency Breakdown (Per Turn)

- Gemini API call: 2-4 seconds (vision processing)
- Browser action: 0.3-3 seconds (optimized waits)
- Screenshot capture: <0.5 seconds
- **Total per turn:** ~3-8 seconds


## Best Practices

### Task Design

**1. Be Specific and Clear**
```python
# ❌ Bad: Vague task
"Search for stuff"

# ✅ Good: Specific task
"Go to Amazon, search for 'wireless headphones', and find the top 3 results with prices"
```

**2. Choose the Right Tool**
```python
# ❌ Bad: Async for simple tasks
start_web_task("Navigate to google.com")  # Requires 3+ tool calls

# ✅ Good: Sync for simple tasks
browse_web("Navigate to google.com")  # Single tool call
```

**3. Use Appropriate Polling**
```python
# ❌ Bad: Poll too frequently
check_web_task(task_id)  # Called every 0.5 seconds

# ✅ Good: Poll every 3-5 seconds
wait(5)
check_web_task(task_id)
```

### Error Handling

**4. Handle All Status States**
```python
status = check_web_task(task_id)

if status["status"] == "completed":
    process_result(status["result"])
elif status["status"] == "failed":
    handle_error(status["error"])
elif status["status"] == "running":
    continue_polling()
```

**5. Use Compact Mode**
```python
# ✅ Recommended: Compact mode (90% smaller)
check_web_task(task_id, compact=true)

# ⚠️ Only when needed: Full progress
check_web_task(task_id, compact=false)
```

### Security

**6. Review Screenshots**
Always check saved screenshots to verify agent behavior, especially for sensitive operations.

**7. Environment Variables**
Never commit API keys. Always use environment variables or secure vaults.

**8. Rate Limiting**
Use the `wait` tool to respect rate limits and avoid overwhelming services.

**9. Domain Validation**
Be cautious with user-provided URLs. Consider implementing domain allowlists for production.

**10. Logging and Audit**
All actions are logged with timestamps. Review logs for debugging and compliance.


## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**Error: 400 INVALID_ARGUMENT (safety decision)**
- **Solution:** This is fixed in v1.0.0. Update to latest version.

**Context window filling up too fast**
- **Solution:** Use `compact=true` in `check_web_task` (default behavior).

**Tasks timing out at 30 turns**
- **Solution:** Break complex tasks into smaller subtasks or increase `max_turns` in `browser_agent.py`.

**Browser not visible during execution**
- **Solution:** Set `HEADLESS=false` in `.env` to see the browser window.

**"No module named 'mcp'" error**
- **Solution:** Activate virtual environment and run `uv sync`.

**"GEMINI_API_KEY environment variable not set"**
- **Solution:** Create `.env` file with your API key or set it in Claude Desktop config.

**"Executable doesn't exist" (Playwright)**
- **Solution:** Run `playwright install chromium`.

**MCP server not showing in Claude Desktop**
- **Solution:** Verify absolute paths in config, ensure `uv` is in PATH, restart Claude Desktop completely.

### FAQ

**Q: Can I use both synchronous and asynchronous workflows?**
A: Yes! Use `browse_web` for quick tasks (<10s) and `start_web_task` for long tasks (>15s).

**Q: What happens to old completed tasks?**
A: Tasks auto-cleanup after 24 hours to free memory.

**Q: Can I check progress of a synchronous task?**
A: No, but the response includes full progress history after completion.

**Q: How many tasks can run simultaneously?**
A: Unlimited. Each task runs in its own browser instance and thread.

**Q: Does Claude automatically poll async tasks?**
A: No, Claude must manually call `check_web_task()` multiple times with `wait()` between calls.

**Q: Can I cancel a task mid-execution?**
A: Yes, use `stop_web_task(task_id)` to cancel any running task.

## Security

### Safety Decision Framework

This MCP server implements Gemini's safety decision framework to prevent:
- Financial transactions without confirmation
- Sensitive data access without review
- System-level changes without approval
- CAPTCHA bypassing attempts
- Potentially harmful actions

### Best Practices

1. **Sandboxing:** Run in containerized environment for production deployment
2. **API Key Security:** Use environment variables, never commit keys to version control
3. **Rate Limiting:** Respect built-in polling delays (recommended 5 seconds)
4. **Human-in-Loop:** Review outputs before taking actions based on results
5. **Logging:** All actions are logged with timestamps for audit trail
6. **Screenshot Review:** Check saved screenshots to verify agent behavior
