This commit adds a simplified MCP server that allows Claude Code to directly control your local PC through the terminal without requiring VMs, Docker, or cloud services.

Key Features:

  • Direct control of local desktop (no VMs required)
  • Simple setup with one-command installation
  • Support for Linux, macOS, and Windows
  • 12 MCP tools for mouse, keyboard, files, and commands
  • Uses Computer(use_host_computer_server=True) for localhost targeting

Files Added:

  • server.py: Main MCP server with stdio transport
  • setup.sh: Automated setup script
  • start-server.sh: Quick start for computer server
  • test_setup.py: Installation verification
  • README.md: Comprehensive documentation
  • QUICKSTART.md: 3-minute getting started guide
  • PROJECT_SUMMARY.md: Technical overview
  • claude-code-config.example.yaml: Example configuration

Usage:

  1. Run ./setup.sh to install dependencies
  2. Run ./start-server.sh to start computer server
  3. Configure Claude Code with provided config
  4. Ask Claude to control your PC

This provides a simpler alternative to the full CUA platform for users who want direct local desktop control without VM complexity.
