Descrizione

Hi CUA team,

I am trying to follow the official guide for using the Computer SDK in TypeScript: https://cua.ai/docs/cua/guide/get-started/using-computer-sdk

The documentation shows the following example:

import { Computer } from '@trycua/computer';

const computer = new Computer({ useHostComputerServer: true });
await computer.run(); // Connect to the host desktop

However, I encountered several issues:

  1. I installed the latest NPM release (@trycua/computer v0.1.6) and earlier versions (0.1.2, 0.1.3, 0.1.5). In all cases, useHostComputerServer is not recognized as a valid parameter in the Computer constructor.

  2. Reviewing the TypeScript source code, I can only find CloudComputer and CloudComputerConfig. There is no apparent way to construct a Computer instance that connects to the local host desktop, as described in the documentation.

  3. The Python SDK works correctly with a local computer_server, so this seems to be specific to the TypeScript SDK.

My questions:

  • Which TypeScript SDK version supports the useHostComputerServer option shown in the guide?
  • If no release exists yet, is there an official way to connect to a local host desktop from TypeScript?
  • Is there a recommended channel to get the TypeScript usage examples that match the Python functionality?

Thank you for your guidance!
