wonderwhy-er/DesktopCommanderMCP
An MCP server that lets Claude Desktop read and write files, run terminal commands, manage running processes, and handle Excel, PDF and DOCX files. It keeps an audit log of the commands it runs.
RiskyKey files read, not run
package.json runs `node dist/track-installation.js` as a postinstall step, and the tree has usage-tracking modules (src/utils/capture.ts, trackTools.ts, usageTracker.ts, ui-event-tracker.ts) plus diagnostics upload code, so install and usage data appear to be sent to a server the user did not choose.
How we know
We read the README and key files, not every source file, and did not run it, so the most we can say is Idea adapted or Risky.
Good for
Claude Desktop users who want it working on files and dev servers on their own machine.
Not for
Anyone who wants the agent kept away from the shell. It gives full local access by design, so only grant it where you trust the setup.
