Question 1

What is Braus?

Accepted Answer

Braus is an open-source (Apache-2.0) macOS desktop-agent fleet at braus.ai—local agents that drive applications with no API, exposed to Claude Code and Codex through an MCP bridge.

Question 2

How does Braus control apps without APIs?

Accepted Answer

Its agents operate applications through the macOS UI—menus, windows, keyboard and pointer events—the same surfaces a human uses, coordinated as a local fleet.

Question 3

Does Braus work with Claude Code or Codex?

Accepted Answer

Yes—Braus ships an MCP bridge, so MCP-capable coding agents gain desktop-operation tools. Check braus.ai for current client instructions.

Question 4

Braus vs Cursor Computer Use?

Accepted Answer

Cursor Computer Use is a vendor's computer-use capability inside their product; Braus is an open, local fleet engine with an MCP bridge you point your own agents at. See our cursor-computer-use hub for the former.
