Using with Claude for Desktop

To use this server with Claude for Desktop:

1. Build the server using the setup instructions above
2. Add it to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "windows-cmd": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Replace /path/to/dist/index.js with the absolute path to the built index.js file in the dist directory.

3. Restart Claude for Desktop
4. You can now use the tools by asking Claude to perform Windows system operations

Security Considerations

Allowed Commands

By default, only safe commands are permitted:

• System information retrieval
• Network configuration
• Process management
• Development tool interactions

Blocked Operations

Dangerous commands are always blocked, including:

• Disk formatting
• User management
• System shutdown
• Critical registry modifications

Configuration

Customize the server's behavior by specifying allowed commands or using configuration flags.

Example

# Run with default safe commands
node dist/index.js

# Run with specific allowed commands
node dist/index.js dir echo npm git

# Run in extended mode (use with caution)
node dist/index.js --allow-all
