Desktop Commander MCP

Supercharge Cursor with full system control. While Cursor handles basic files/commands, Desktop Commander gives Claude persistent shells, SSH access, Docker control, and true DevOps capabilities. Transform Claude from a coding assistant into your infrastructure partner. Perfect for deployment automation, server management, and complex multi-step DevOps tasks that Cursor's limited terminal simply can't handle. The combo developers love: Cursor for code, Desktop Commander for everything else.
