Open-source tool gives ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini computer access

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The developer of dot-mcp, an open-source Python project, has created a tool that provides large language models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini with access to a computer's shell, file system, persistent memory, and a web browser. This allows AI assistants to perform real-world tasks on a local machine, such as browsing websites, writing and executing code, and recalling information from memory across different chat sessions. The project emphasizes that the server grants full shell access and should be used with caution, only exposing credentials when actively in use. AI
