This server enables LLMs to get a list of installed software, open applications, and close running programs, with support for multiple operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux). ## Available Tools - `get_software_list_tool` - Get a list of installed software on the computer. - Returns a list of software names. - `open_software` - Open software by name. - Required arguments: - `name` (string): The name of the software to open. - `close_software` - Close running software by name (currently Windows-only). - Required arguments: - `name` (string): The name of the software to close. ## Installation ### Using uv (recommended) When using [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/), no specific installation is needed. We can use [`uvx`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/tools/) to directly run *mcp-software-server*. ### Using PIP Alternatively, you can install dependencies via pip: ```bash pip install mcp_server_software ``` ## Configuration ### Configure for Claude.app Add to your Claude settings:

Using uvx

```json "mcpServers": { "software_manager": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["mcp-server-software"] } } ```

Using uv

```json "mcpServers": { "software_manager": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "{path/to/mcp_server_software.py}", "run", "mcp_server_software.py" ], "env": {}, "disabled": false, "alwaysAllow": [] } } ```

Using manual Python command

```json "mcpServers": { "software_manager": { "command": "python", "args": ["path/to/mcp_server_software.py"] } } ```

## Platform Support - **Windows**: Full functionality (software listing, opening, closing) - **macOS**: Software listing and opening only - **Linux**: Software listing and opening only ## Example Interactions 1. Get software list: ```json { "name": "get_software_list_tool", "arguments": {} } ``` Response: ```json [ "Chrome", "Firefox", "Visual Studio Code", "Notepad++", ... ] ``` 2. Open software: ```json { "name": "open_software", "arguments": { "name": "Chrome" } } ``` Response: ```json "Opened Chrome" ``` 3. Close software (Windows only): ```json { "name": "close_software", "arguments": { "name": "Chrome" } } ``` Response: ```json "Closed Chrome" ``` ## Debugging You can use the MCP inspector to debug the server: ```bash npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector python mcp_server_software.py ``` ## Examples of Questions for Claude/AI 1. "What applications do I have installed on my computer?" 2. "Can you open Notepad for me?" 3. "Please close Chrome browser" 4. "Show me all available software on my system" ## How It Works The server creates and maintains a JSON file (`software_list
