Opendesk: MCP + SOM algorithm for AI desktop control via Claude Code
Opendesk is an open-source MCP server that lets AI agents control your entire desktop — mouse and keyboard included — using a custom Self-Organizing Map (SOM) algorithm for improved accuracy. It integrates with Claude Code or any custom agentic harness, enabling real desktop automation workflows.
Key Features
- Desktop Control: Agents can move the mouse, click, and type to interact with any application or website.
- Learn & Replay: Record a sequence of actions (e.g., logging into a dashboard and exporting a report) and replay it later on command.
- Scheduling: Run computer-use tasks automatically at specific times — for example, every morning at 9am open Gmail and summarize unread emails.
Example Commands
- “Open Spotify and play a lofi playlist”
- “Go to Twitter and like the first 3 posts on my feed”
- “Fill out this form on Chrome”
Integration
Works with Claude Code and any custom agentic harness that supports MCP. The SOM algorithm improves click/target accuracy compared to vanilla computer-use implementations.
