"How to add, remove, and edit files on a local laptop" matching MCP servers:

MCP server enabling Claude Code to capture screenshots of Windows applications through WSL2, allowing AI to diagnose UI errors and verify layouts.

Bridges the ChatGPT web UI to a local development environment over MCP, letting the model read and patch files, run real shell commands and terminals, execute tests, and control the desktop (screen, mouse, keyboard, clipboard) within user-approved folders. It adds parallel workers, goal/loop long-task control, plugin tools, and a security-hardening layer with risk-tiered shell policy, audit logging, and credential sanitization.

Connects ChatGPT to local files, terminals, and the desktop through MCP with Chrome integration, letting users read and edit project files, run commands, and follow tool results as they arrive. It also adds durable multi-agent workers, Goal/Loop task tracking, mid-task corrections, and Compact & Resume for carrying session and worker history into a fresh chat.

Enables ChatGPT to read and edit local text files, apply precise string replacements, and run Bash commands on a user's own macOS or Linux machine through a secure local tunnel without exposing public ports.

Enables supervised PowerShell execution on Windows, allowing the DeepSeek agent to run local commands and manage files safely through a single tool.

Enables cloud agents to securely operate local machine resources (files, commands, screenshots) via standard MCP protocol.

Enables Claude Desktop and Claude Code to list, search, and read files, run one terminal command, query SQLite, and manage named scheduled tasks without calling the Claude API.

Enables a Claude Code cloud session to run shell commands inside a chroot jail on your own computer and to call the MCP servers already installed there, with every request authenticated and relayed over a Cloudflare quick tunnel so no router port is opened and no SSH key or tunnel is ever handed to the cloud VM.

Enables ChatGPT and other MCP clients to access configured Windows folders, make hash-checked file edits, and run locally supervised processes through local, HTTP, or authenticated remote relay connections.

Enables ChatGPT's web interface to operate a real Mac by executing shell commands and reading or writing files over a reverse SSH tunnel, without installing a client or consuming API quota.

Enables ChatGPT Web Developer Mode to securely read, search, list, and edit files inside user-approved local folders, and optionally run approved developer commands on the user's Windows machine.

Enables cloud services with MCP support, such as Notion AI, to read, search, edit, create, and delete files within a single designated folder on your computer, and to run only allowed commands.

A local Python MCP server that provides basic tools like greet, add_numbers, and system_info, designed for process-based connections via stdin/stdout.

Enables cloud-based MCP clients to delegate privacy-sensitive or large-output tasks to a local LLM, returning sanitized placeholders or digested summaries so private data never leaves the user's network.

Provides agents with real Linux VMs to run commands, manage files, expose ports, and track costs, all through an ephemeral sandbox service.

Lets ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and other MCP clients run an allowlisted set of local commands and read files from a chosen directory, so an assistant can analyse a codebase or trigger local generators (images, sprites, assets) without metered API tokens. The server is read-only and deny-by-default by default, with no shell, path containment, opt-in writes, and required auth when exposed over HTTP.

For people who want their AI to run the build, read the error and check the dev server itself, instead of pasting output into chat. Works with Claude Desktop (one-click installer), Cursor, Claude Code and Cline. Runs locally over stdio or HTTP, no telemetry. A seatbelt for everyday mistakes, not a sandbox.

Enables self-hosted local file, terminal, document, and named-device tools for MCP clients, with an isolated document mode and a full-access mode.

Enables ChatGPT to work directly on local projects by reading files, editing code, running tests and commands, inspecting Git state, and managing durable workflows, with optional delegation to local Codex agents for complex tasks.

Enables controlled local developer operations including file and process management, shell execution, SSH, WSL, Docker, Git, browser and desktop automation, media processing, and asynchronous jobs through MCP.

Enables ChatGPT Desktop to read, search, edit and move files on your own computer, produce Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF and chart outputs, launch and manage terminal programs and processes, and run work on other machines you own by name over SSH. Everything runs locally under your own setup, with a Docker-isolated, offline document mode or a full-permission mode for file and code operations.

Enables ChatGPT to inspect selected local projects, make edits, run commands/tests, and review diffs through an authenticated MCP endpoint backed by a containerized workspace.

A minimal MCP server for running Python scripts on a remote machine over HTTP, exposing tools to Claude for script discovery, execution, and job status tracking.

Converts any Python Click or Typer CLI into an MCP server automatically — zero-code transformation that introspects CLI commands and exposes them as MCP tools.

Enables ChatGPT to privately read and edit files, run PowerShell/Git Bash commands, and maintain persistent interactive terminals on a Windows host through authenticated remote MCP.

A single MCP server that orchestrates Expo CLI, Metro, and adb for local Expo project management, including device interaction and session summaries.

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.

Enables a Notion MCP Agent to work as a local coding agent by exposing local files, shell, git, and patch-style editing over MCP, plus delegated long-running tasks via local Codex or Claude. It also supports managing local MCP services and Cloudflare tunnels through a native macOS console.

Enables ChatGPT to operate a local workstation through a secure outbound tunnel, exposing 44 MCP tools for files, git, projects, processes, browsers, native apps, Office documents, and optional Codex delegation across macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Turns your local machine into an MCP server with a GUI, allowing agents to execute file operations, run commands (including admin), manage background processes, and query databases, with optional ngrok exposure.
