Desktop Commander gives Claude terminal control, file system search and diff-based file editing, according to its GitHub description, and is published on npm as @wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander. Install is npx -y @wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander over stdio, the licence is MIT, and the parent repository shows 10.2 thousand stars. We would suggest it to people using Claude Desktop who want the assistant to run commands and edit files on their machine. The main limit is trust: a server that can run terminal commands and write files can do damage if a prompt goes wrong, so work in a project directory and review commands. A separate plugin entry packages it for Claude Code, which already has a shell, so check which you need. The repository was pushed on 30 October 2026, and we have not run it.
