Cua: Give AI Agents a Computer to Use
An open-source platform that gives AI agents desktop access: one-command install, integrates with Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor.
Cua is an open source platform for AI agents to interact directly with computers and run desktop applications and UIs. Cua Driver is the core of Cua, and allows your agent to interact with native apps via CLI, MCP, or a typed SDK after a single install command on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Cua Driver supports popular agents like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and more. Once installed, your agent will be able to interact with any application’s UI, including reading/writing information, clicking buttons, and more. With Cua Fleets, your agent can get a dedicated Linux cloud desktop environment to complete a specific task, and then discard it once done, without interfering with your own computer. CUA-S1 is a series of small task-specific models that enable quick interface interaction. You can find the model weights on Hugging Face. There’s also Lume for Apple Silicon, which lets you set up local macOS & Linux VMs. This is all released under the MIT license.
Why a vibe-coder should care
With Cua Driver, your agent can click buttons, fill forms, and use any GUI-based application (not just coding!), so you can fully automate any browser/desktop app tasks without manually intervening.
How to install
Copy this and send it to your agent — Claude Code, Codex, any of them:
Install Cua Driver following the Cua Driver section at https://github.com/trycua/cua — connect it to my agent and run the test: compute 6×7 in Calculator. Ask me if you need permissions.
Cua Driver installs on a regular laptop — Mac, Windows, or Linux — no special hardware needed. For local macOS VMs through Lume, you need a Mac with an M-chip.
