A Model Context Protocol server that provides software management capabilities for your computer.
Software MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. A Model Context Protocol server that provides software management capabilities for your computer.
A Model Context Protocol server that provides software management capabilities for your computer. This server enables LLMs to get a list of installed software, open applications, and close running programs, with support for multiple operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux).
Once Software is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
get_software_list_tool — Get a list of installed software on the computeropen_software — Open software by nameclose_software — Close running software by name (currently Windows-only)@modelcontextprotocol/inspector on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Software's toolset — get_software_list_tool, open_software, close_software — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by DumoeDss; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
