# Desktop Commander Cursor Plugin

Desktop Commander gives Cursor agents access to a local MCP server for terminal sessions, filesystem work, structured documents, search, process management, and SSH workflows.

## Components

- Skill: `desktop-commander-overview`, which explains when to use Desktop Commander MCP tools and how common workflows compose.
- MCP server: `desktop-commander`, installed with `npx -y @wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander@latest`.

## Usage

Install the plugin in Cursor, then ask the agent to use Desktop Commander when it needs persistent shells, long-running processes, local files outside the workspace, Excel/DOCX/PDF handling, large CSV analysis, or remote SSH sessions.

For full project documentation, see the repository README.
