Visual Desktop Bridge - Give any AI full control over Windows

Visual Desktop Bridge (Claude Bridge)

Visual Desktop Bridge - Give any AI full control over Windows Currently designed for Claude Code and Claude Desktop.

[!NOTE] This project was formerly known as "Universal PC Control".

Overview

Visual Desktop Bridge is a "body" for your AI "brain". It allows Claude to:

1. See your screen (using screenshots and grid overlays).
2. Control your mouse/keyboard (using coordinate grids and hotkeys).
3. Manage applications (launch, switch, close).
4. Run locally on your PC while communicating securely with the cloud/MCP.

Key Features

• Vision-First Control: Claude sees a grid overlay (e.g., "Click A5") to interact with any app, even those without accessibility API support (Spotify, Games, etc.).
• Persistent Connection: Agents are remembered across sessions.
• Fast & Lightweight: Built on fastmcp and optimized for low latency.
• Safe: Includes a "Safety Sentinel" to block dangerous commands (like deleting files) unless explicitly approved.

Installation

Easy Install (Windows)

1. Download the latest release.
2. Run ClaudeBridgeAgent.exe.
3. The agent will auto-register with your MCP configuration.

Manual Setup (Developers)

1. Clone the repo.
2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   pip install -r requirements-local.txt
   

3. Run the bridge server:

   python bridge_mcp.py
   

4. Run the local agent:

   python local_agent.py
   

Usage with Claude

Once running, you can ask Claude to:

• "Take a screenshot and tell me what you see."
• "Open Notepad and type 'Hello World'."
• "Click the Play button on Spotify."
• "Organize the files in my Downloads folder."

Architecture

• Bridge Server (bridge_mcp.py): Acts as the MCP entry point for Claude.
• Local Agent (local_agent.py): Runs on the Windows PC, executing actual mouse/keyboard commands.
• Vision Engine: Uses pyautogui and PIL to generate grid-augmented screenshots for the AI.

Safety

By default, "Safe Mode" is ON. Dangerous commands (powershell, file writes) require user confirmation via the desktop overlay.
