What's new in v5.5.0

The settings panel in Persian, Chinese and Russian, an import you can look
at before it is made, settings that go back with the program, and stop and
settings buttons on the overlay's label
(all commits).

• The settings panel speaks Persian, Chinese and Russian (English as
  before): a language picker at the top, panel.language (auto follows
  the browser). Persian is laid out right to left (mirrored layout, the
  switch's knob, tables and numbers kept left to right, no letter spacing
  that would break joined letters) and brings its own font (Vazirmatn, SIL
  OFL); Chinese uses the system's. Every setting, its help, the guide pages
  and the messages are translated; a text without a translation shows in
  English. scripts/panel-i18n.mjs makes the list of texts and
  scripts/panel-i18n-check.mjs checks a translation against it; a test
  fails when a text of the page isn't in the list or a language lacks one.
• An import is shown before it is made. Paste settings and the page lists
  each one as it is now and as it would be, which ask for a yes, and which
  this version can't take (a setting only a newer version has, or a value
  out of range): those are flagged, left out, and named afterwards. An
  export says which version made it (# Zero Use Computer 5.0.2 settings),
  so the page can say why a setting is unknown. The settings from before an
  import are kept (settings-before-import.toml) and Undo the last
  import brings them back.
• Going back to a version brings its settings back. The settings file is
  kept with the program an update replaces, and update --rollback / the
  panel's Go back put it back with it (--keep-settings or the
  checkbox to leave the settings as they are); the ones it replaces stay
  beside the file as config.toml.before-rollback.
• A page of the panel that waits on the server no longer lands on the page
  the user went to meanwhile.
• Stop and settings buttons beside the overlay's label
  (overlay.show_buttons, on). A round stop button on the side the label
  starts from stops every agent, as the stop key does; with the pointer
  on it, a list drops out with "All agents" and each agent as its label
  names it ("2 · codex", its state colour, its app): a row stops that one
  agent alone (it is refused its calls as with the stop key), or lets a
  stopped one continue. A gear on the other side opens the settings panel,
  as Ctrl+Alt+J does. They light up under the pointer, say what they do,
  and are at least 24 px across. Only they and the list take the pointer:
  the rest of the overlay stays click-through, and nothing takes the
  keyboard focus. The agent can't press them: before it moves or clicks
  the real mouse the overlay lets its input through them (and says so
  before the engine goes on), until the action is over. With any agent
  stopped, the stop key now lets every agent continue.
• X11 tested (Xvfb, two agents on a hub, clicks through XTEST); the
  Windows, macOS and Wayland code is built for those systems but not yet
  run there. Without a pointer to read (a Wayland seat without one), the
  buttons aren't shown.

Install

Windows: download computer-use-mcp-windows-x64.zip, extract it to a
permanent folder (for example C:\Tools\computer-use-mcp), then double-click
install.cmd (or run claude mcp add --scope user computer-use -- C:\Tools\computer-use-mcp\computer-use-mcp.exe serve).
Check with claude mcp list.

As a plugin (Customize ▸ Plugins ▸ Upload local plugin): upload the full
computer-use-mcp-<os>.zip. If "Upload failed" appears and a computer-use plugin is
already installed, remove the old one first, then upload again.
Only if the full zip is refused for containing a program, use the small
computer-use-plugin-<os>.zip (about 50 KB, no program inside on purpose): first run
install.cmd -NoRegister (Windows) / ./install.sh --no-register from the full zip,
which copies the program to ~/.computer-use/bin; then upload the plugin zip.

macOS / Linux: download your platform's zip, extract it, run ./install.sh.
macOS needs Accessibility and Screen Recording permission for the app that runs Claude Code.

Every zip contains the binary, the installers, docs/CONNECT.md (Claude Code, Claude Desktop,
Codex, Cursor, VS Code, HTTP) and ready-to-copy configs in examples/.
The binaries are not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may ask you to confirm.
