This repository contains a Python script that demonstrates Anthropic's Computer Use capabilities, modified to run on MacOS without requiring a Docker container. The script allows Claude 3.5 Sonnet to perform tasks on your Mac by simulating mouse and keyboard actions as well as running bash command.

Forked from Anthropic'scomputer use demo - optimized for MacOS.View Anthropic's docshere.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/PallavAg/claude-computer-use-macos.gitcd claude-computer-use-macos

2. Create a virtual environment + install dependencies:

   python3.12 -m venv venvsource venv/bin/activatepip3.12 install -r requirements.txt

3. Set your Anthropic API key as an environment variable:

   export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="CLAUDE_API_KEY"

   ReplaceCLAUDE_API_KEY with your actual Anthropic API key. You find yourshere.

4. Grant Accessibility Permissions:

   The script usespyautogui to control mouse and keyboard events. On MacOS, you need to grant accessibility permissions. These popups should show automatically the first time you run the script so you can skip this step. But to manually provide permissions:

   • Go toSystem Preferences >Security & Privacy >Privacy tab.
   • SelectAccessibility from the list on the left.
   • Add your terminal application or Python interpreter to the list of allowed apps.

You can run the script by passing the instruction directly via the command line or by editing themain.py file.

Example using command line instruction:

python3.12 main.py'Open Safari and look up Anthropic'

Replace'Open Safari and look up Anthropic' with your desired instruction.

Note: If you do not provide an instruction via the command line, the script will use the default instruction specified inmain.py. You can editmain.py to change this default instruction.

You can quit the script at any time by pressingCtrl+C in the terminal.
