A fake MCP server with 108 themed tools for testing Claude Desktop's handling of large toolsets and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway integration.

GNOME desktop automation for AI agents. 30 tools via D-Bus: screenshots, window management, mouse/keyboard injection, clipboard, workspaces, and system notifications. Works on any GNOME 45–49 Linux desktop.

Enables Claude Code to send prompts to Claude Desktop using macOS automation and AppleScript. Supports conversation management and configurable response polling, though reading responses back is limited by Electron's accessibility APIs.

Enables developers to generate structured software documentation including user stories, requirements, technical specifications, and more using AI-powered prompts via the MCP protocol.

Enables Codex Desktop or CLI to delegate tasks to an already running DeepSeek Harness Desktop over an authenticated local socket, reusing that Desktop's model configuration, Skills and allowed tools without a separate API key or runtime. Each delegated session runs in its own isolated directory or Git worktree so Codex can review results before integration.

Enables a local MCP client to drive an already-open DeepSeek Harness Desktop session over a loopback-only, Bearer-authenticated endpoint — submitting standard-mode tasks, reading bounded output, continuing or canceling runs, and inspecting diagnostics.

Enables high-speed native macOS automation for Claude by interacting directly with the Accessibility API, AppleScript, and UI trees instead of using screenshots. It allows users to read app states, click elements, and type text semantically across any macOS application.

Provider-neutral MCP server for managing VirtualBox, VMware Fusion, and VMware Workstation, offering tools for VM lifecycle, configuration, snapshots, guest operations, networking, and artifact resolution.

Enables asynchronous two-way messaging between Codex Desktop tasks and Claude Desktop Code sessions on Windows, allowing either side to share information, questions, or updates through MCP tools.

Enables searching text across configured local workspaces using ripgrep. Provides secure text search capabilities within defined workspace boundaries through both MCP server and CLI interfaces.

Enables AI assistants to control Ubuntu desktops through screenshots, mouse clicks, and keyboard interactions using AT-SPI integration and computer vision. It features optimized element detection and workflow batching for fast and accurate visual interaction with desktop applications.

Connects the Docker Desktop MCP gateway as an MCP server, enabling profile discovery, selection, and reconnection from the DSH web GUI.

Exposes six tools that let MCP clients such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code discover, validate and execute any of 240 qbXML operations against a QuickBooks Desktop company file, explain QuickBooks error codes, and check bridge status, plus a matching HTTP endpoint for sending qbXML from your own code. It runs beside QuickBooks on the Windows machine and can be reached locally, over the office network, or via a managed relay.

Enables AI assistants to interact with native Linux desktop applications through AT-SPI2 accessibility interfaces. Provides semantic element targeting, natural language search, and automation capabilities (clicking, typing, keyboard shortcuts) across GTK, Qt, and Electron applications.

Proxies a local Desktop Commander tool catalog over WebSocket and exposes it through a Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint, enabling remote MCP clients to perform allowlisted file and search operations within a validated workspace root.

Connects AI assistants to a development machine through a persistent Desktop Commander stdio process and the official OpenAI tunnel-client, exposing file, terminal, search, and document tools.

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.

Model Context Protocol server that enables querying and modifying live Power BI Desktop models by connecting to the in-memory Analysis Services engine.

Enables AI agents and users to view live Google Antigravity Desktop model quota percentages and reset countdowns in the title bar, force quota refreshes, and manage the injected badge through MCP tools.

Bridges Claude Desktop to a running 1C:Enterprise platform API reference server over Streamable HTTP, exposing search, info, getMember, getMembers and getConstructors tools with guidance for verifying platform call signatures, availability and deprecation notes. Ships as a .mcpb extension with a bundled Node.js runtime, so no separate Node installation is needed.
