Remote Desktop MCP
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for remote desktop control (Local, RDP, VNC). This allows AI models like Claude to see and interact with your desktop.
Quick Start
The easiest way to install this server is via the Claude Desktop CLI:
# Local Desktop
claude mcp add remote-desktop -- uvx remote-desktop-mcp mcp local
# RDP
claude mcp add remote-desktop-rdp \
-e REMOTE_DESKTOP_RDP_HOST=192.168.1.1 \
-e REMOTE_DESKTOP_RDP_USER=ubuntu \
-e REMOTE_DESKTOP_RDP_PASSWORD=ubuntu \
-- uvx remote-desktop-mcp mcp rdp
# VNC
claude mcp add remote-desktop-vnc \
-e REMOTE_DESKTOP_VNC_HOST=127.0.0.1:5900 \
-e REMOTE_DESKTOP_VNC_PASSWORD=password \
-- uvx remote-desktop-mcp mcp vnc
Quick test without mcp.
