Enables ChatGPT to inspect and edit files and run terminal commands such as git, npm, and tests on a user's Windows PC through an OpenAI Secure MCP Tunnel.

This server enables AI agents to execute terminal commands, manage running processes, and interact with the host's filesystem and system configuration. It supports complex operations such as code execution, file searching, and surgical data editing.

Enables AI agents to see and drive a live Windows remote desktop session inside VS Code — capturing screenshots, clicking, moving, dragging and scrolling, typing Unicode text, sending key combinations, syncing the clipboard, and running PowerShell or cmd commands on the remote machine with text output and exit codes.

Enables MCP-capable AI clients to control a local computer over stdio with filesystem operations, ripgrep search, shell command execution, and persistent process sessions.

Allows Claude desktop app to execute terminal commands and edit files on your computer through MCP, with features including command execution, process management, and diff-based file editing.

MCP server for terminal operations and file editing, enabling AI assistants to manage files, run commands, and process large content with auto-chunking.

Enables AI clients to search, read, edit, and manage files and directories, execute and control terminal commands and processes, and perform code or text searches and replacements. It also supports in-memory code execution and interactive process sessions for tasks like data analysis and long-running command management.

AI-powered connection manager with 60+ MCP tools for SSH terminal execution, RDP desktop control, VNC interaction, web session automation, and encrypted credential vault management. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client.

Enables AI clients to manage files and documents, search code, run shell commands, and control processes locally across Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Enables AI clients to search, update, and manage files, run and control terminal commands and processes, execute code in memory, and work with Excel, PDF, and DOCX documents on local desktops.

Gives ChatGPT hands-on control of a local machine: reading, patching and executing code in approved project folders, running real interactive processes, managing plans and worker sub-chats, and driving the browser or desktop through user-granted permissions. Every capability is a switch inside an approved-folder sandbox, so nothing runs that the user did not explicitly enable.

Enables AI assistants to search, update, and manage files, run terminal commands, and automate workflows on a user's computer.

Enables AI to run terminal commands with interactive process control, manage long-running processes, and perform filesystem operations including search and diff-based file editing. It also supports reading and editing Excel, PDF, and DOCX files, executing code in memory, and auditing tool-call history.

Centralized MCP server that provides standardized development workflow commands to Cursor AI, auto-detecting project type (Laravel, Next.js, Flutter, Architecture) and offering relevant commands for implementation, testing, and commits.

Enables Muse to read and edit files, search, run git and terminal commands with approval-based permissions, and control a browser inside approved workspaces.

An MCP server for Hyprland that enables AI agents to control workspaces, windows, mouse, keyboard, and take screenshots on a Wayland desktop.

Enables Claude to create and interact with real, persistent Windows terminal sessions (cmd.exe or PowerShell) through ConPTY, including sending commands, reading output, and scoped Ctrl+C interrupts without affecting other processes.

A minimal local MCP server that lets Claude Desktop or Claude Code delegate coding tasks to Grok Build running headless as a subagent.

Enables AI to execute registered system commands across platforms using a stable program + args interface, without requiring shell-specific syntax or tool discovery.

Universal Docker MCP server for AI assistants (Cursor, Claude Desktop). Manage Docker containers, execute commands, query databases, and handle environment configurations — all through natural language.

MCP server that gives Claude Desktop and other desktop MCP clients filesystem powers—read, write, edit, and manage files like AI coding assistants.

MCP server for TQS structural engineering CAD/analysis software, enabling Claude to read building models, extract drawing data, run structural processing, and script against the TQS API.

A stdio MCP server that lets Codex Desktop/CLI delegate implementation tasks to Claude Code CLI with workspace validation, Git status checks, and session resume capabilities.

Give Claude Desktop terminal, filesystem, and background-job access on your local Linux machine. Zero-dependency MCP extension, MIT-licensed.

Enables AI agents to communicate and coordinate across tmux panes, allowing them to read, type, and send messages to each other without manual copy-pasting.

Zero-config SSH/SFTP MCP server that lets an LLM client open temporary SSH/SFTP sessions to remote hosts, run commands, and upload/download files without holding any pre-baked credentials.

An MCP server that lets an AI assistant run commands and transfer files over SSH without exposing connection details.

A local-first secrets vault for MCP clients that lets AI assistants use secrets by injecting them into child processes, without the plaintext ever entering the model's context.
