Overview

Magnet Desktop is a cross-platform application for MacOS and Windows that allows users to explore and manage MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, enabling AI agents to autonomously execute tasks and handle on-chain transactions.

To use Magnet Desktop, clone the repository from GitHub, install the necessary dependencies, and start the application using npm commands.

  • Interface to access and manage MCP servers. - Integration with Claude AI for autonomous task execution. - Support for on-chain transactions through the Base network.
  1. Managing multiple MCP servers locally.
  2. Enabling AI agents to perform automated tasks.
  3. Facilitating on-chain transactions for crypto users.

Add to your AI client

Use these steps to connect Magnet Desktop in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "magnet-desktop-magnetai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-magnet-desktop-magnetai"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "magnet-desktop-magnetai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-magnet-desktop-magnetai"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "magnet-desktop-magnetai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-magnet-desktop-magnetai"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "magnet-desktop-magnetai": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-magnet-desktop-magnetai"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "magnet-desktop-magnetai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-magnet-desktop-magnetai"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "magnet-desktop-magnetai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-magnet-desktop-magnetai"
      ]
    }
