Terminal & Desktop Automation MCP Servers

123 published MCP servers in this category · page 1 of 3 · all categories

Terminal and desktop MCP servers expose command execution or computer interactions to an assistant. They may provide a shell, a remote terminal, or controls for windows, keyboard input and the pointer. The supported operating system and interaction method determine which tasks are possible.

Match commands and interface controls

Check whether the server runs shell commands, reads terminal output or interacts with a graphical application. Compare working-directory selection, session persistence and operating-system support. A screenshot tool or file reader alone does not establish full desktop automation.

Browse the servers below for available tools, connection options and links to the maintainer’s documentation. A server can belong to several categories when it supports several kinds of work.
