At a glance.

A compact read before the deeper capability notes and official setup links.

Core features.

Feature cards focus on what the tool helps users do, not generated setup commands.

Work with code and text, run processes, and automate tasks, going far beyond other AI editors - while using host client subscriptions instead of API token costs.

Want a better experience? The Desktop Commander App gives you everything the MCP server does, plus:

Use any AI model — Claude, GPT-4.5, Gemini 2.5, or any model you prefer

See file changes live — visual file previews as AI edits your files

Coming soon — skills system, dictation, background scheduled tasks, and more

The MCP server below still works great with Claude Desktop and other MCP clients — the app is for those who want a dedicated, polished experience.
