"Tools or software for desktop control and usage" matching MCP servers:

Self-hosted MCP coding server and unified local Control Center for ChatGPT web, enabling file editing, command execution, Git operations, and optional upstream MCP tools with conversation access controls.

Enables secure remote access to your computer's filesystem and terminal through MCP, allowing AI assistants to manage files, run commands, and automate tasks from anywhere via a hosted relay.

Provides full control of a macOS system, enabling AI agents to execute shell commands, run AppleScript, manage files and processes, and perform human-like GUI interactions such as clicking, dragging, scrolling, and typing, with a screenshot-based perception loop.

Allows AI clients to see and control Windows 10/11 desktops via MCP, with screenshots, UI Automation, Chrome CDP, keyboard/mouse, and terminal using semantic element targeting.

Manage local/SSH/WinRM remote hosts via MCP, providing tools for exec, filesystem, screen, process, serial console, and configuration.

MCP server that enables AI to fully control macOS — mouse, keyboard, terminal, screenshots, window management, UI element detection, and provides AI-optimized information reporting.

Enables comprehensive Linux desktop agent capabilities for Ubuntu/Debian systems, including system state monitoring, package management, persistent terminal sessions, and desktop control via mouse, keyboard, and screen capture, with support for multiple remote machines and a built-in permission system.

Enables comprehensive Android device control over ADB, including UI automation, screen capture/recording, app management, file operations, and log/notification access, with a built-in permission system.

Enables AI services like Claude and Cursor to remotely control a Mac by executing shell commands, managing files, and running AppleScript for UI automation. Access is secured through OAuth 2.0 authentication and encrypted tunnels to protect remote interactions.

Enables full Linux desktop control including windows, mouse, keyboard, clipboard, audio, screenshots, OCR, accessibility, and system management through MCP-compatible AI agents.

Enables MCP clients on Linux to drive the official Codex Computer Use and Browser Use runtime on a remote Windows PC over SSH, operating in the logged-in Windows desktop session.

A safety-first MCP server enabling file inspection/editing, allowlisted command execution, process listing, and optional desktop automation. It emphasizes security with disabled writes/commands/GUI by default and local feature gates.

Enables secure, self-hosted desktop automation through MCP with scoped filesystem access and a restricted, allowlisted shell.

A production-grade MCP server that lets AI cloud services control and manage your Linux server securely via HTTP/SSE.

Controls a Linux host through structured interfaces like systemd, journald, and D-Bus for service management, journal queries, power operations, and more, with safety guards to prevent accidental damage.

Enables web ChatGPT to drive durable, sandboxed Claude Code sessions on a local Mac, with controlled read, modify, verify, and recover operations via six session control tools.

Allows Claude to execute terminal commands on your computer and perform file system operations including surgical code editing with diff-based replacements.

Enables comprehensive control over macOS GUI elements including mouse, keyboard, window management, and screen capture. It allows for automated system interactions and script execution while maintaining safety by blocking potentially destructive deletion commands.

Enables an AI agent to operate a spare Android phone through MCP: capture screenshots, inspect UI controls, tap/swipe, input Chinese text, launch apps, and optionally run rooted shell commands or transfer files. It also supports a live web console for remote viewing and control.

A passive MCP server that exposes a toolbox of executable tools (shell, network, HTTP, AI search, SSH, S3 file operations) to autonomous agents via Streamable HTTP, with strong security features including Docker sandboxing and WAF.
