A lightweight, stdio-based MCP server enabling AI assistants to perform local file system operations like reading, writing, searching, and executing commands.

Enables ChatGPT to access approved local Windows folders, run commands, control the desktop, and manage session history through a permission-bounded MCP server.

Local Dev Doctor turns an unfamiliar development checkout into an evidence-backed diagnosis. It discovers how the project is meant to run, checks safe prerequisites, and executes only the exact probe that a user approves.

Provides Claude Desktop with direct access to your local file system for development tasks, enabling file operations (read, write, edit), directory browsing, command execution, and codebase search within a configured projects directory.

Exposes local file I/O, a restricted shell whitelist, and SQLite helpers for safe integration with AI clients like Cursor and Claude Desktop.

A self-hosted MCP server that gives ChatGPT full local machine access for coding tasks, including file editing, shell commands, git operations, and project exploration via 40+ MCP tools.

A secure, local-first MCP server for read-only inspection and troubleshooting of development environments, exposing narrow, typed, auditable capabilities for repository inspection, log summarization, Docker review, and security scanning without granting unrestricted machine access.

Enables ChatGPT to securely operate a single Windows development workspace via a local MCP server, offering file editing, Git status, static analysis, approved test/build, and limited ADB operations with audit logging.

MCP server enabling local network interaction, shell command execution, system resource monitoring, and SSH-based remote device management.

Enables Notion AI to interact with local files, execute shell commands, and delegate complex tasks to local AI agents. Provides file operations, command execution, and task delegation capabilities for local workspace management.

Enables ChatGPT web to safely read and modify only explicitly allowed local project files through OpenAI Secure MCP Tunnel, including git operations, file edits, and running project scripts, while enforcing strict security boundaries.

Exposes your local machine's filesystem, git, shell, network, databases, and system to any MCP-compatible LLM client over HTTP.

Enables safe local system command execution, file operations, hardware diagnostics, and persistent cross-session memory storage via SQLite.

A local MCP server providing file access, allow-listed command execution, and read-only Postgres queries via Docker Compose with one-command wrappers.

Provides full access to a local Windows computer via MCP, enabling arbitrary command execution, file operations, and process management through a secure stdio or HTTP tunnel.

Enables AI agents to securely connect to and manage remote servers via SSH, with tools for running commands, file operations, log inspection, service management, and system monitoring under configurable access controls and audit logging.

A minimal MCP server that exposes a run_command tool over stdio, enabling command execution within a Docker container.

Runs local MCP servers (filesystem, search, read-only shell) exposed via Tailscale Funnel with OAuth, enabling claude.ai to securely access local files and run shell commands through a custom connector.

A local MCP runtime for macOS and Windows that enables ChatGPT to read, edit, search, run tests, and capture screenshots in your local project folder while keeping your source code on your machine.

This MCP server gives ChatGPT controlled access to your Windows PC, enabling it to inspect files, run commands, apply patches, and interact with the desktop under your supervision.
