Give MCP clients direct access to local terminals, files, edits, and processes.
Desktop Commander MCP equips clients such as Claude with local terminal execution, filesystem search and editing, process sessions, long-running commands, and support for formats including Excel, PDF, and DOCX. It can be installed through npx or run in Docker. The server is not itself a security sandbox: allowed-directory settings restrict file tools but do not fully contain terminal commands. Docker isolation and narrowly mounted folders are therefore important when working with untrusted tasks.
