description	Use Argus from Codex on Windows to observe and operate desktop applications through the local MCP server without requiring an OpenAI API key.

Argus Codex Computer Use

Use the argus-codex MCP server, not the Claude-compatible argus MCP server, when operating Windows desktop applications from Codex.

This server is local-only. It does not call the OpenAI API and does not need OPENAI_API_KEY; usage is billed through the active Codex session.

Workflow

1. Call computer_status to verify the server is running and check displays.
2. Call computer_open_application for the target app, for example {"app":"EXCEL.EXE"} or {"app":"notepad.exe"}.
3. Call computer_observe before coordinate-based actions.
4. Call computer_execute with GPT-style actions.

Coordinates default to image-space pixels from the last computer_observe screenshot. Use coordinateSpace: "display" only when you already know absolute display coordinates.

Actions

computer_execute supports:

• click: { "type": "click", "x": 100, "y": 200, "button": "left" }
• 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 }
• screenshot: { "type": "screenshot" }

For Chinese or other non-ASCII text, prefer the type action. Argus will use a clipboard paste path internally when needed.
