Agentic Control (MCP)

The Rebind MCP server wraps the remote-control protocol as Model Context Protocol tools, so an AI agent can drive a real keyboard and mouse: take a screenshot, reason about it, click, type, and run Luau — all as genuine USB HID. Because the OS sees a real device, it works in any application, including ones that block synthetic input. It runs against the same remote.luau server as everything else in this section — the MCP server is just another client, built for agents instead of programs.

Install

bunx @rebind.gg/mcp-server --selftest

--selftest connects to the running Rebind relay and captures the screen, then exits — run it first to confirm the server is reachable before wiring up an agent. It needs remote.luau running (see Run the server).

npm: @rebind.gg/mcp-server
GitHub: usinput/rebind-mcp-server

One command, every client

add-mcp writes the correct config for whichever clients you name — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and more — in each one’s native format:

npx add-mcp "bunx @rebind.gg/mcp-server" --name rebind \
  --env REBIND_URL=ws://127.0.0.1:19561 \
  -g -a claude-code -a cursor -a codex -a opencode

Drop -a <agent> for the clients you want, or pass --all. -g installs globally; omit it to write project-local config. Restart the client afterward so it picks up the new server.

Any MCP client

The server speaks MCP over stdio. Point any MCP-capable client (Claude Desktop, an IDE, your own agent) at it manually:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rebind": {
      "command": "bunx",
      "args": ["@rebind.gg/mcp-server"],
      "env": { "REBIND_URL": "ws://127.0.0.1:19561" }
    }
  }
}

Set REBIND_TOKEN when the relay has an auth token (the Auth token field in remote.luau’s settings panel).

OpenClaw

The @usinput/rebind-computer-use skill on ClawHub teaches an OpenClaw agent when and how to use these tools, with a built-in safety policy for irreversible actions.

openclaw skills install @usinput/rebind-computer-use
openclaw mcp add rebind --no-probe \
  --command bunx --arg @rebind.gg/mcp-server \
  --env REBIND_URL=ws://127.0.0.1:19561
openclaw config set skills.entries.rebind-computer-use.env.REBIND_URL ws://127.0.0.1:19561

Then start a new OpenClaw session — skills are snapshotted at session start, so one installed mid-session stays invisible until you restart.

Tools

Tool	Purpose
`run_lua`	Run a Luau script and return its value. The primary tool for anything deterministic — launch apps, place windows, type known text — batched into one cheap call.
`screenshot` / `screenshot_window`	Capture a whole display, or one window (cheaper, monitor-proof).
`zoom`	Re-read a region of the last capture at native resolution.
`click` / `move_mouse`	Move to a pixel in the last capture; clicks are verified and corrected before pressing.
`type` / `key` / `scroll`	Keyboard and wheel input.
`list_displays` / `list_windows` / `focus_window`	Enumerate and manage windows.
`wait` / `get_cursor` / `active_window`	Timing and cheap state reads.
`calibrate`	Re-run the mouse scale probe (auto-runs at startup).

The skill’s policy leans on run_lua for deterministic sequences and reserves screenshots for genuine visual reasoning — a screenshot-per-action loop costs tokens quadratically, since every image is re-sent on every later turn.

Telemetry

Set REBIND_AGENT_LOG=<path> to append one JSONL line per tool call ({ts, tool, ok, latency_ms, note}) — no screenshot bytes, no user content. Off unless set. Useful for measuring which tools fail and how many actions a task takes.
