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.
About tmux-mcp
nickgnd/tmux-mcp
A MCP server for our beloved terminal multiplexer tmux.
Exposes tmux session state and control as MCP resources and tools, enabling Claude Desktop to list sessions/windows/panes, capture terminal output, and execute commands within tmux. Implements shell-agnostic command execution with configurable shell detection (bash, fish, etc.) to properly parse exit statuses. Integrates directly with Claude Desktop via the Model Context Protocol, allowing AI assistants to observe and manipulate terminal multiplexer state programmatically.
