First, thank you for working on this.

Second, a question. Computer Use and JSON mode are great for creating a quasi-API for legacy software which offers no integration possibilities. Can MCP better help with legacy software interactions, and if so, in what ways?

Probably, yes! You could imagine building an MCP server (integration) for a particular piece of legacy software, and inside that server, you could employ Computer Use to actually use and automate it.

The benefit would be that to the application connecting to your MCP server, it just looks like any other integration, and you can encapsulate a lot of the complexity of Computer Use under the hood.

If you explore this, we'd love to see what you come up with!
