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.", "body_md": "# cua\n\nOpen-source infrastructure for Computer-Use Agents. Sandboxes, SDKs, and benchmarks to train and evaluate AI agents that can control full desktops (macOS, Linux, Windows).\n\nBackground computer-use across macOS, Windows, and Linux without stealing focus.\n\nYou need a runtime older than Python 3.11.\n\n## About cua\n\nBuilding your own agent? Start with Cua · Giving a coding agent a computer? Cua Drivers · Evaluating or training models? Cua Bench · Need macOS VMs? Lume\n\nDrive 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.\n\nThen wire it into Claude Code as an MCP server and your agent can drive the desktop in the background:\n\ncua is an open-source project written primarily in Python, with 21k stars on GitHub. It was last updated in August 2026.\n\n```\npip install cua\n```\n\n## cua vs. the alternatives\n\n[All 22 alternatives →](/alternatives/cua)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/cua-shipped-an-update", "canonical_source": "https://agentsearchengine.app/agents/cua", "published_at": "2026-08-03 05:58:25+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-03 06:40:21.283632+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-agents", "ai-infrastructure", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["cua", "Claude Code", "Cursor", "Codex", "OpenClaw", "Lume"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/cua-shipped-an-update", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/cua-shipped-an-update.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/cua-shipped-an-update.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/cua-shipped-an-update.jsonld"}}
