Control your Mac desktop with Claude from the terminal

Visit Computer Use in Claude Code →

Computer Use in Claude Code enables the Claude Code CLI to interact with macOS graphical interfaces — opening apps, clicking, typing, and capturing the screen. It is designed for developers who need to test native apps, debug visual issues, or automate GUI-only workflows without leaving the terminal. It leverages Anthropic's computer use capability built into the Claude model.
