Argus Codex Computer Use
Use the argus-codex MCP server for Windows desktop automation from Codex.
This server is local-only: it does not call the OpenAI API and does not require
OPENAI_API_KEY.
Standard Flow
- Call
computer_status to verify the local server is available.
- Call
computer_open_application for the target app, such as
{"app":"EXCEL.EXE"} or {"app":"c:\\program files\\tencent\\weixin\\weixin.exe"}.
- Call
computer_observe before coordinate-based actions.
- Call
computer_execute with action objects.
Coordinates default to image-space pixels from the last computer_observe
screenshot. Pass coordinateSpace: "display" only for absolute display
coordinates.
Actions
click: { "type": "click", "x": 100, "y": 200 }
double_click: { "type": "double_click", "x": 100, "y": 200 }
scroll: { "type": "scroll", "x": 100, "y": 200, "dy": 3 }
type: { "type": "type", "text": "hello" }
keypress: { "type": "keypress", "keys": ["CTRL", "V"] }
drag: { "type": "drag", "from": { "x": 100, "y": 200 }, "to": { "x": 300, "y": 200 } }
move: { "type": "move", "x": 100, "y": 200 }
wait: { "type": "wait", "seconds": 1 }
For Chinese text, use the type action. Argus routes non-ASCII text through a
clipboard paste path internally.
