Overview

MCPControl is a cross-platform control server for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), designed to provide programmatic control over system operations such as mouse, keyboard, window management, and screen capture functionality.

To use MCPControl, clone the repository from GitHub, install the necessary dependencies, build the project, and configure it with your MCP servers. After configuration, restart your MCP server to access the MCPControl service.

  • Window management capabilities including listing, focusing, and resizing windows. - Mouse control with configurable speed, click operations, and cursor tracking. - Keyboard control for text input and key operations. - Screen operations including screen capture and active window detection. - Clipboard integration for managing clipboard content.
  1. Automating repetitive tasks on your computer.
  2. Enabling AI models to interact with applications and games.
  3. Managing multiple windows and applications programmatically.

Use these steps to connect MCPControl 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": {
    "mcpcontrol-cheffromspace": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcpcontrol-cheffromspace"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "mcpcontrol-cheffromspace": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcpcontrol-cheffromspace"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

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

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpcontrol-cheffromspace": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcpcontrol-cheffromspace"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

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

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "mcpcontrol-cheffromspace": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcpcontrol-cheffromspace"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

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

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpcontrol-cheffromspace": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcpcontrol-cheffromspace"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

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

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpcontrol-cheffromspace": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcpcontrol-cheffromspace"
