What the publisher says

Local Commander
Your AI, on your computer.
Let Claude, Cursor, Codex or your own agent work with the files, Git and dev tools on your machine. You choose the folders. No account, no cloud, no telemetry.

The problem
Your AI can write the code, but it can't see your project. You copy files into the chat, paste test output back, and run every command yourself. Giving it a raw terminal solves that, but then it can touch everything.
Local Commander sits in between. Your AI gets real tools for real work on your machine, inside the folders you pick, with commands you allow. You keep working in the chat you already have open.
What people use it for
Try asking:
"Run the tests in my-app and tell me what fails."
"Start the dev server and check that port 3000 answers."
"Show me what changed in the repo since yesterday."
Why Local Commander
🔒 You choose the access. Your AI sees only the folders you pick. Secret files such as .env and private keys are blocked by default.
🧰 Real tools, not a raw shell. Commands run from an allowlist (Git, Node, npm, Python and similar) with separate arguments. There is no free-form shell string to inject into.
⚡ Parallel work without collisions. Independent commands run side by side. Long-running processes such as dev servers keep running while your AI checks their output.
🏠 Stays on your machine. The server runs locally and talks only to the AI client that started it. No account, no telemetry, and the audit log is off unless you turn it on.
🔌 Works with the AI you already have. Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT over a tunnel, or anything that speaks MCP.
Get started
Pick the way that fits you. Each takes a couple of minutes.
Before you install
What can my AI touch?
Only the folders you choose, and only through Local Commander's tools: reading and editing files, Git inspection, allowlisted commands, dev processes and requests to localhost. You can change the command list in the config file.
