Remote desktop control for AI

This project helps AI agents remotely control a computer's desktop, whether it's Windows, Linux, or macOS. It takes instructions from an AI agent (like Claude Desktop) and translates them into mouse clicks, key presses, and text input on a remote machine. This allows the AI to interact with any software running on the desktop, and even take screenshots of its activity.

About claude-kvm

ARAS-Workspace/claude-kvm

🤖 ⚡️ MCP server ( MacOS) — control remote desktops via VNC

Implements a two-layer architecture: a Node.js MCP proxy communicating with Claude over stdio JSON-RPC, and a native Swift/C daemon handling VNC connections with coordinate scaling, differential screen capture, and on-device OCR via Apple Vision framework. Enables Claude to control remote desktops through precise mouse/keyboard input, real-time frame capture with progressive verification strategies, and automatic resolution scaling to optimize token efficiency.
