What it does
Cua gives computer-use agents real machines and a background driver. Cua Fleets keep warm pools of Linux, Windows, macOS, and Android desktops that code can claim for evals, RL, data generation, or batch rollouts. Cua Driver lets an agent click, type, scroll, read accessibility trees, and capture window state on macOS, Windows, and Linux without stealing the operator’s cursor or focus when the platform supports background delivery. Lume manages local Apple Silicon VMs. Cua Bench authors and scores computer-use tasks. CUA-S1 is a family of small specialist models for bounded GUI decisions (first profile: forms).
Computer-Use 2.0 in Cua’s docs treats the GUI as one tool surface beside code, shell, files, and APIs — not as a standalone “AI browser” product.
Agent-facing interfaces
- Interaction pattern: CLI + MCP (stdio) + Sandbox / Fleet SDK
- Catalog protocols: Agent Skill, MCP, CLI, SDK, http
- MCP: ✅ Available (Cua Driver stdio; Cua CLI also documents a CLI MCP server)
- Agent Skill: ✅ Available via the Driver binary (filesystem skill + MCP skill://cua-driver/ resources)
- Onboarding type:
mcp
How agents onboard
Interaction pattern: CLI + MCP (stdio) + Sandbox / Fleet SDK
# macOS / Linux

# Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://cua.ai/driver/install.ps1 | iex
cua-driver --version
cua-driver call list_apps
cua-driver mcp-config --client <client>
