🖱️ Let Factory Droid control your Mac with the Codex app's Computer Use tool. One-command install, no approval forms, works with any Codex install path.
Let Factory Droid control your Mac with the Computer Use tool from the Codex app. One command to install. No approval forms. No hand-edited paths.
Quick Start · How it works · Security · Troubleshooting
The Codex desktop app includes a Computer Use MCP server that can read and control macOS apps and Chrome. You can point Factory Droid at the same server, but every call fails with this error:
This repo installs a small launcher between Droid and the Codex server that fixes that error. It finds the Codex app on your machine, so you don't need to edit any paths by hand.
- macOS on Apple silicon or Intel. - The Codex desktop app, installed anywhere (it's usually /Applications/ChatGPT.app or /Applications/Codex.app). - Computer Use turned on in the Codex app at least once, with its macOS permissions granted. Codex installs a helper app at ~/.codex/computer-use/Codex Computer Use.app and asks for Accessibility and Screen Recording access. Droid uses the same helper. - Factory Droid (the CLI or the Factory App).
You don't need your own Node.js. The scripts use the Node runtime that ships inside the Codex app.
1. Downloads this repo to a temporary folder. 2. Finds the Codex app and its Computer Use server on your machine. 3. Copies the launcher to ~/.factory/codex-computer-use/. 4. Adds a computer-use server to ~/.factory/mcp.json, after backing up the existing file. 5. Starts the server the same way Droid does, to check that it works. 6. Deletes the temporary folder.
