mcpjungle

Installer for the cmdop CLI — stop keeping a directory of endpoints in your head.

pip install mcpjungle
mcpjungle

That's it. mcpjungle detects your platform, downloads the cmdop binary, verifies it against the published checksums, installs it, and hands over.

Not affiliated with the MCPJungle project. If you are looking for github.com/mcpjungle/MCPJungle, that is a different project — this package will not install it. This package is published by CMDOP and installs the cmdop CLI.

Anyone running more than three machines ends up maintaining a private index: which host has the GPU, which one has the database, which SSH alias still works. The index lives in your head and goes stale quietly.

cmdop replaces it with something you can address by name. One binary per machine, one place to talk to all of them. This package installs that binary.

Naming a machine beats remembering its address

Machines join a fleet and get a name. What changes is not the connection — it is that you stop needing to recall how to make one before you can ask a question.

The agent runs where the work is, with the files and credentials already on that box. Nothing is uploaded anywhere to make it reachable.

What is cmdop

One executable that is the agent, the relay, the local server and the web console at once. There is no gateway, backend, database server or broker to stand up — you add one binary to a machine you already own.

• run an AI agent on your own machine, with your own tools
• reach it from anywhere: terminal, files, remote execution
• connect machines into a fleet
• works with Claude Code and other agent engines under the hood

Usage

mcpjungle                    # install cmdop (if needed), then run it
mcpjungle --install-only     # install, don't hand over
mcpjungle --prefix ~/bin     # choose the install directory
mcpjungle --force            # reinstall even if already present
mcpjungle --quiet            # print only the installed path
mcpjungle -- --help          # everything after `--` goes to cmdop

Default install directory is ~/.local/bin (%LOCALAPPDATA%\cmdop\bin on Windows). No sudo, no system directories.

What it does, precisely

1. Detects your OS and architecture.
2. Fetches SHA256SUMS from install.cmdop.com.
3. Downloads the matching binary to a temporary file.
4. Verifies the SHA-256 against the published checksum. On mismatch it aborts and installs nothing.
5. Moves the verified binary into the install directory and marks it executable.
6. Runs it.

Supported: macOS (Apple Silicon, Intel), Linux (x64, arm64), Windows (x64).

What it does not do

• No side effects at install time. pip install mcpjungle only unpacks files. Nothing is downloaded or executed until you run mcpjungle.
• No network access on import. import mcpjungle touches nothing.
• No telemetry. The package sends no analytics, ever.
• No dependencies. Standard library only, so there is nothing to conflict with what you already have installed.

Python API

The installer is importable if you would rather script it:

import mcpjungle

target = mcpjungle.detect()
print(target.label, target.asset)

result = mcpjungle.install()
print(result.path, result.sha256)

mcpjungle.install() raises mcpjungle.InstallError with a user-facing message on any failure, and mcpjungle.UnsupportedPlatform when there is no published binary for the current machine.
