Enables the Claude desktop app to execute terminal commands, manage processes, and perform file system operations, including code editing.
Claude Desktop Commander is a server that empowers the Claude desktop application to interact with your computer's terminal, manage processes, and perform file system operations. Built upon the Model Context Protocol (MCP), it extends Claude's capabilities to include executing long-running terminal commands with output streaming, process management, comprehensive file system manipulation (read, write, create, move, search, get metadata), and surgical code editing through search and replace blocks. It provides a powerful bridge between Claude's AI capabilities and your local system.
