What the publisher says

From the FreeRDC repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

FreeRDC

Give ChatGPT and Claude access to the folders you choose — and nothing else.

FreeRDC is an MCP server for file work with AI assistants. It reads, writes, searches and edits files and documents inside the folders you approve, and refuses everything outside them. Anything that can run commands, click the screen or shut the machine down is off unless you turn it on.

Get started

Claude Desktop (desktop extension)

Releases.

  1. Download freerdc-0.1.0.mcpb from
  1. Open it with Claude Desktop and pick the folder(s) FreeRDC may use.
  2. Leave local power tools off unless you need shell or GUI access.

Requires macOS and Node.js 22+. Details and privacy policy: mcpb/README.md.

ChatGPT (self-hosted)

Run the server locally and reach it privately through OpenAI Secure MCP Tunnel. Do not expose the local listener to the public internet. See docs/OPENAI-INTEGRATION.md and docs/DEPLOYMENT.md.

ChatGPT hosted connector (early access)

The hosted connector is in review for the ChatGPT app directory. Until it is listed, add it in ChatGPT developer mode with the MCP URL https://freerdc.sjaman.deno.net/mcp.

code (letters A–Z and digits 2–9).

  1. Connect FreeRDC in ChatGPT. The sign-in page shows a 10-character pairing

Releases. Requires Node.js 22+.

  1. Download freerdc-agent-hosted.mjs from
  1. Pair this computer, choosing the folder ChatGPT may use:
node freerdc-agent-hosted.mjs connect --server https://freerdc.sjaman.deno.net/mcp --code YOUR_CODE --device-id my-mac --root /absolute/allowed/folder
  1. Keep the agent running while you use FreeRDC:
node freerdc-agent-hosted.mjs run --device-id my-mac

The pairing code expires after about 10 minutes. The agent is a prebuilt binary; its source is not included in this repository.

Run from source

Requires Node.js 22+, npm and Git.

npm ci
npm run build
node packages/server/dist/src/cli.js --root /absolute/allowed/folder --port 8787

The server binds to 127.0.0.1 only, requires at least one explicit root, stores state under ~/.freerdc, and leaves process tools disabled. Create ~/.freerdc/STOP to activate the kill switch. Pick the narrowest folder that fits the task — never add credentials, caches or unrelated projects to a root.

Installer scripts

curl -fsSLo install.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danielarif26/freerdc/main/install.sh
sh install.sh
