The MCP commanding MCP server is a powerful tool that brings all your development operations in a single cat interface. Built at the top of the MCP file server, it allows you to search, modify and manage files, run terminal commands and control the processes directly from your office using the model context protocol (MCP).

Here are the basic capacities of the MCP Office Commander:

Terminal and processes control

  • Execute terminal commands with live exit streaming
  • Define expiration times and execution commands in the background
  • Manage sessions for longtime tasks
  • List and kill the running processes with detailed information

Configuration management

  • Obtain or define server parameters such as:
    • Defaulthell (for example, bash, zsh)
    • Blockedomands (for example, RM, stop)
    • Autorsdirectries for access to the file
    • telemetry
  • Apply changes without restarting the server

File system operations

  • Read and write files with lines based on the line
  • Add or crush the content of the file
  • Create and list the directories
  • Move or rename files and folders
  • Get file metadata and directories
  • Search files by name (insensitive to the case)

Code and text edition

  • Perform precise text replacements (for example, change configuration values)
  • Rewrite whole files for major updates
  • Search and replace models on several files
  • Use VSCODE-RIPGREP for quick text search / recursive code

Audit journalization

  • All actions are recorded with horodatages and arguments
  • Newspapers automatically at 10 MB to avoid congestion

In this tutorial, we will connect Claude Desktop with the MCP server and perform certain tasks.

JS knot

We need NPX to execute the office commander server, which is delivered with NODE.JS.

  • Download the latest version of Node.js from nodejs.org
  • Run the installation program.
  • Leave all the default settings and complete the installation

Claude Desktop

Download Claude using https://claude.ai/download.

Then configure Claude to connect to your MCP server. Open it claude_desktop_config.json File located in the Claude installation directory using any text editor. If the file does not exist, you can create it manually. Once open, enter the following code:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "desktop-commander": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": (
        "-y",
        "@wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander"
      )
    }
  }
}

Once the MCP configuration is complete, your server must appear in Claude. The office commander server is a powerful interface, offering 18 tools for tasks such as file management, terminal execution, process control, etc.
