About
Desktop Commander is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that grants AI assistants like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code full terminal access and filesystem manipulation capabilities. It allows models to execute shell commands, manage background processes, read various file formats, and make surgical search-and-replace code edits. Users run it locally via npx or inside an isolated Docker container.
From the repository: “This is MCP server for Claude that gives it terminal control, file system search and diff file editing capabilities”
