Claude Kvm MCP Server

MCP server — control remote desktops via VNC (MacOS). The claude kvm mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 9 defined tools rather than through you.

What it actually does

Claude KVM is an MCP tool that controls remote desktop environments over VNC. It consists of a thin JS proxy layer (MCP server) and a platform-native Swift VNC daemon running on your macOS system.

Adding it to your client

Being a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

• Layers — The Layers tool exposed by this server
• Requirements — The Requirements tool exposed by this server
• Daemon — The Daemon tool exposed by this server
• Configuration — The Configuration tool exposed by this server
• Screen — The Screen tool exposed by this server
• Mouse — The Mouse tool exposed by this server
• Keyboard — The Keyboard tool exposed by this server
• Detection — Returns text elements with bounding box coordinates in scaled space:
• Control — The Control tool exposed by this server

Configuration

You will need 6 environment variables: VNC_HOST, VNC_PORT, VNC_USERNAME, VNC_PASSWORD, CLAUDE_KVM_DAEMON_PATH, CLAUDE_KVM_DAEMON_PARAMETERS. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

• macOS (Apple Silicon / aarch64) - Node.js (LTS)

Caveats

• Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
• With 9 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Claude Kvm.
• MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the claude kvm mcp server does with a few real requests.

When to reach for it

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Claude Kvm's toolset — Layers, Requirements, Daemon and 6 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by aras-workspace; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
