Guide setting up a Mac as a computer-use node so the agent can see the screen and control mouse/keyboard.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

Walk the user through turning a Mac into a computer-use node. macOS-only; needs a display and user-granted permissions you can't grant for them. Prefer the paired-node outbound relay; it needs no inbound port or extra service credential.

1. Install the distributed OpenAGI app on the Mac, pair its daemon to the main, and enable Computer Use. The node connects OUT to the main over the existing authenticated pairing; do not expose a computer-control port.
2. Ensure a display exists. A headless Mac has no framebuffer. Attach a display/HDMI dummy plug, or create a virtual display with a user-approved tool.
3. Grant OpenAGI in System Settings → Privacy & Security:
   - **Screen Recording** (for screenshots)
   - **Accessibility** (for CGEvent mouse/keyboard/scroll input)
   These require a GUI session to approve; on a headless box, do it once over Screen Sharing.
4. Verify the node is online and its Computer use service says ready in Nodes. `computer_use_status` should list it as an available node.
5. Start a chat request naming that node; approve the scoped session, then let the agent inspect and act.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add spshulem/openagi/setup-computer-use-node@sha256:223f7ec319ad4725

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.fe4a923, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
