About DesktopCommanderMCP
wonderwhy-er/DesktopCommanderMCP
This is MCP server for Claude that gives it terminal control, file system search and diff file editing capabilities
Implements advanced file operations including native Excel/PDF/DOCX support with surgical XML editing, in-memory code execution (Python, Node.js, R), and process management via MCP's stdio transport. Built on the MCP Filesystem Server foundation with vscode-ripgrep for recursive search, negative offset file reading for tail-like access, and output pagination to prevent context overflow. Integrates with Claude Desktop and remote MCP clients, offering symlink traversal prevention and optional Docker sandboxing for security-hardened deployments.
