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 mcp-bash
patrickomatik/mcp-bash
A simple model context protocol (MCP) server that allows Claude Desktop or other MCP aware clients to run Bash commands on your local machine.
Maintains persistent working directory state across command executions and captures both stdout and stderr output. The server implements the MCP protocol for direct integration with Claude Desktop and other MCP-aware clients, enabling Claude to execute tests, analyze results, and iteratively fix code in a single pass. Designed for local development workflows where the security tradeoffs of unrestricted command execution are acceptable.
