Common questions

Is Longwire 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 (0.9.8) 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.

What can I use instead?

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:
