Desktop Commander MCP transforms Claude Desktop into a powerful AI assistant for managing files, running terminal commands, and editing code with precision across your entire system. It supports in-memory code execution, interactive process control, advanced search and replace, plus comprehensive filesystem operations including reading from URLs and negative offset file reads. With detailed audit and fuzzy search logging, it enables efficient automation, data analysis, and multi-project workflows—all without extra API costs. Designed for developers seeking smarter automation, it enhances productivity by integrating all essential development tools into a single, intelligent chat interface.

Securely extracts text, metadata, and page information from PDF files within a project directory using pdfjs-dist for both local files and remote URLs.

Provides high-performance text search capabilities by wrapping ripgrep, enabling powerful file exploration, pattern matching, and content discovery across local filesystems.

Provides secure, controlled filesystem operations within a project's root directory, enabling safe file listing, reading, writing, and searching with robust path validation.
