Common questions
Is Moonlight Desktop MCP safe?
It passed 1 of 1 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 –, and the latest version (0.10.0) reached the registry 15 days ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code.
What can I use instead?

Moonlight Desktop MCP
A local stdio MCP server for visual computer use on a paired Apollo or Sunshine Windows Desktop. MCP clients and coding agents can capture the remote screen, locate visible controls, and send mouse or keyboard input in that same coordinate space.
The server runs on the controlling macOS, Linux, or Windows machine and talks to the Windows host over Moonlight/GameStream. It is for visible tasks such as opening an application, changing a setting, or dismissing a dialog—not for a hidden Windows shell, registry, process access, or a Windows-side agent.
Choose your path
| Your goal | Start here |
|---|---|
| Install, update, and run the MCP | Install and update |
| Pair a PC and use the visual tools | Use the MCP |
| Clone, modify, test, or build the source yourself | Develop from source |
| Give an agent the concise operating contract | Agent operating guide |
Most people need only the first two links. The commands in the development guide are deliberately not part of the normal installation path.
Discovery for clients and agents
server.jsonprovides the standard MCP server identity, repository, version, and canonical installation page for catalogs and clients. Because this project requires a controller-native build, the card points to the managed installer instead of advertising an npm package or a hosted remote endpoint.llms.txtis a compact, model-readable map of the canonical installation, use, tool, architecture, and safety documentation.AGENTS.mdguides coding agents working in this repository;docs/AGENT-GUIDE.mdguides agents operating the installed MCP. Codex users can also install the bundledmoonlight-desktop-operatorskill.
Install or update
Run one command on the computer that will run the MCP—your Mac, Linux, or Windows machine, not the Windows PC being controlled. Re-run the same command later to update a clean installation.
This project is not distributed as a ready-to-run npm or npx package. Use the platform installer below so the native Moonlight bridge and controller dependencies are built and checked together.
macOS and Linux:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -fsSL \https://raw.githubusercontent.com/edulelis/moonlight-desktop-mcp/main/install.sh | bash
Windows PowerShell:
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/edulelis/moonlight-desktop-mcp/main/install.ps1 | iexThe installer obtains controller-side build dependencies, creates or refreshes its own checkout, builds the native Moonlight bridge, and verifies readiness. It preserves pairing data outside that checkout. When the Codex CLI is already available, it adds the moonlight-desktop MCP entry if one does not exist. It does not install anything on the Windows host; that host must already run Apollo or Sunshine with a Desktop application. See Install and update for review, pinning, and other MCP clients.
Use the MCP
The normal computer-use loop is:
- Pair once:
host_status→pairing_begin→ enter the returned PIN at the returned Apollo URL →pairing_status. - Optionally configure Wake-on-LAN with
profile_wol_configureif the PC may be asleep or powered off. - Before each task, call
desktop_channel_status, follow itsnextAction, then callsession_preflightandsession_startwhen the transport is available and no launch preparation is in progress. - Capture the Desktop, use that current frame to establish whether the requested app or setup state is visibly available, locate a target, input in that frame's coordinate space, and capture again to verify the result.
- Call
session_stopwhen finished.
session_start always opens the Desktop. An application need not be registered in Apollo to be opened from the Desktop or Start menu. Use provider_app_start only when the user explicitly asks to launch an Apollo-registered provider app. The detailed setup, safety boundaries, and examples are in Use the MCP.
What it provides
| Need | MCP tools |
|---|---|
| Pair, inspect, and wake a host | host_status, pairing tools, profile_status, profile_wol_configure, host_wake |
| Check/start/stop a desktop | session_preflight, session_start, session_status, session_stop |
| See the remote screen | screen_capture, OCR, text/template lookup, crops, diffs, and waits |
| Interact and confirm | mouse, drag, scroll, text, named-key/hotkey tools, and visual waits |
The complete tool contract is in docs/TOOLS.md. The bundled agent guidance is in docs/AGENT-GUIDE.md.
Scope and safety
- One Desktop stream at a time. If another GameStream client owns the channel, the MCP reports it and does not take it over.
- Remote app availability, installer progress, account state, and license state are established only through the current rendered Desktop, never through a remote shell, registry, or process inspection.
- Pairing keys, frames, OCR cache, and Wake-on-LAN settings stay on the controlling machine.
- H.264 Desktop video defaults to 1920×1080/30fps at 20 Mbps. Pass
stream_profile: "low_bandwidth"tosession_startfor 1280×720/30fps at 8 Mbps on a slow connection; width, height, FPS, and bitrate remain optional per-session overrides. Audio, clipboard, file transfer, HEVC/AV1, and session recovery are out of scope. - Every meaningful action should be visually verified using a fresh capture.
