Common questions

Is Longwire safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 43 days ago, and the latest version (0.9.8) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need MCPB on your computer.

Longwire — downloads

Longwire is a whole-home media server from Future Maven: free over-the-air television recorded from an HDHomeRun tuner, radio through an RTL-SDR dongle, your own films, music and photos on every screen in the house, recordings published to every TV over DLNA, guests on their phones from a QR code. It runs as a service on a Windows PC, a Linux box or a Raspberry Pi and is used from a browser.

This repository holds the releases only. Take the newest one from the Releases page:

You haveTake
Windows 10 or 11Longwire-Setup- .exe — the installer (service, firewall rule, Start menu). Longwire-Portable.zip runs from a folder without installing.
Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Zorin, Raspberry Pi OSlongwire_ _amd64.deb, or _arm64.deb on a Raspberry Pi or ARM box: sudo apt install ./longwire_ _amd64.deb
Any other Linux with systemd`curl -fsSL https://github.com/longwiremedia/releases/releases/latest/download/install.sh \sudo bash, or the Longwire-linux-*.tar.xz` by hand
Dockerdocker run -d --name longwire -p 8420:8420 -v longwire-data:/data ghcr.io/trorie/longwire

Then open http:// :8420 from any device on your network. The user guide is inside the app at /help.

The app checks this page once a day and shows a badge when a newer version is here; nothing downloads or installs by itself.
