cua shipped an update

Cua, an open-source project for Computer-Use Agents, shipped an update providing infrastructure to train and evaluate AI agents that control full desktops on macOS, Linux, and Windows without stealing focus. The project, written primarily in Python with 21k GitHub stars, offers sandboxes, SDKs, benchmarks, and a CLI/MCP server for integration with tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. The update includes a pre-release Linux backend and requires a runtime older than Python 3.11.

Building your own agent? Start with Cua · Giving a coding agent a computer? Cua Drivers · Evaluating or training models? Cua Bench · Need macOS VMs? Lume

Drive native desktop apps in the background. Agents click, type, and verify without stealing the cursor or focus. Use the same CLI and MCP server on macOS and Windows from Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, and custom clients. Linux support is available as a pre-release backend while platform testing is still in progress.

Then wire it into Claude Code as an MCP server and your agent can drive the desktop in the background:
