ChatRoom is a local MCP runtime that lets ChatGPT work with projects on your local device, run processes, or perform computer control. Its WebUI provides workspace browsing, Git repository and process management, computer control, ChatRoom Cloud management, and plugin-attributed operation logs.

Install

Requires Node.js 24.15.0 or newer and Git.

npm install -g @zhanguym/chatroom
chatroom init
chatroom serve

Windows users can also use ChatRoom-Windows-Portable without configuring any dependencies themselves.

Default local endpoints:

WebUI  http://127.0.0.1:8765/
MCP    http://127.0.0.1:8765/mcp

chatroom init creates the configuration file and uses ~/Projects as the default allowed workspace root.

Use with ChatGPT

ChatGPT connects to ChatRoom through its MCP endpoint. For remote access, either enable ChatRoom Cloud from the WebUI or expose ChatRoom through your own HTTPS ingress and configure the corresponding public URL.

Create a custom MCP app in ChatGPT Developer Mode, use the ChatRoom /mcp URL, and complete OAuth authorization with the ownerToken in the configuration file.

See Use ChatRoom with ChatGPT for the current ChatGPT setup flow.

ChatRoom Cloud

ChatRoom Cloud is built into ChatRoom and provides optional public access for Remote MCP and Remote WebUI. Open the Cloud page in the WebUI to purchase, restore, or manage access.
