Anthropic / Claude

Use Claude models with Cua Driver through an agent harness.

Anthropic provides the Claude model family. To give Claude access to a desktop, run it in an agent harness that can call Cua Driver. The most direct path is Claude Code, which supports local MCP servers.

Start here when…Recommended path
You use Claude CodeConnect Claude Code to Cua Driver
You use another MCP client with ClaudeUse the generic MCP configuration
You want an isolated desktopStart a local sandbox

Claude Code can also act as the harness for a model served locally. That is a harness feature, not a direct connection between Cua Driver and Anthropic's API.

See Anthropic's MCP documentation and Claude Code CLI reference for the upstream client behavior.

Claude Code builds and checks a Windows app

Claude Code uses Cua Driver to operate a WPF app without taking over the user's active window.
