**Computer Server** is the server component for the Computer-Use Interface (CUI) framework powering Cua for interacting with local macOS and Linux sandboxes, PyAutoGUI-compatible, and pluggable with any AI agent systems (Cua, Langchain, CrewAI, AutoGen).

## Features

- WebSocket API for computer-use
- Cross-platform support (macOS, Linux)
- Integration with CUA computer library for screen control, keyboard/mouse automation, and accessibility

## Install

To install the Computer-Use Interface (CUI):

```bash
pip install cua-computer-server
```

## Run
