What Remote Desktop Commander does

Reach an authorized computer's filesystem and terminal from ChatGPT through Desktop Commander's Remote MCP. The app relays a secure connection to a machine the user controls so ChatGPT can inspect files, run commands, manage processes, edit local documents, and automate development workflows from chat. Users stay in control of which devices are connected and can disconnect them at any time.

What Remote Desktop Commander can access

The official listing names no Read or Write capability for Remote Desktop Commander. Check what it asks for when you add it, and connect only the accounts you want it to use.

Where it connects
ChatGPT reaches Remote Desktop Commander through a remote MCP server on mcp.desktopcommander.app, named in the official listing.

Before you connect it

OpenAI’s plugin pages note that a connected plugin may receive relevant parts of your chats to answer a request, and that Desktop Commander’s own terms and privacy policy then cover that data. You can disconnect a plugin later in ChatGPT’s settings. Read the privacy policy (legal.desktopcommander.app) and terms (legal.desktopcommander.app).
