How to use windows-computer-use-mcp effectively — tool selection, focus rules, safety, and mission design.
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
# Desktop automation protocol (windows-computer-use-mcp) ## Tool selection guide | Goal | Tool | Example | |------|------|---------| | Click a known button | `automation_elements(click, title="Save")` | fast, needs exact title | | Click by intent | `automation_smart(click="the Save button")` | slower, finds across all windows | | Complex multi-step | `automation_mission(run="save file as PDF")` | autonomous loop with retry | | Record + replay | `automation_macro(record) → stop → replay` | repeatable sequences | | Wait for event | `automation_watch(start, "window_appears", "Update")` | event-driven triggers | | Explore desktop | `automation_smart(discover)` | get all running apps | | Extract + chain | `automation_mission(workflow, actions, store_as, dollar-ref)` | cross-app data pipeline | ## Focus rules - After automation starts, do not Alt+Tab or touch the mouse - The target window must stay in foreground during click/type sequences - If HITL approval appears, approve it and let the target window regain focus - Prefer reading logs between paused steps or on a second monitor ## Safety - Read docs/SAFETY.md before production use …

How to install
mdr add hybridlabor-api/bdb-dev-optimized-agent-skills/desktop-automation-protocol@sha256:8572165998754bedThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, 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.
