MCP support
MoLing runs as an MCP server and exposes file, command-line and browser tools to MCP clients such as Claude, Cline and Cherry Studio. The moling client --install command can write the client configuration automatically.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

Introduction
MoLing is a computer-use and browser-use MCP Server that implements system interaction through operating system APIs, enabling file system operations such as reading, writing, merging, statistics, and aggregation, as well as the ability to execute system commands. It is a dependency-free local office automation assistant.
Advantages
Important
Requiring no installation of any dependencies, MoLing can be run directly and is compatible with multiple operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS. This eliminates the hassle of dealing with environment conflicts involving Node.js, Python, Docker and other development environments.
Features
Caution
Command-line operations are dangerous and should be used with caution.
- File System Operations: Reading, writing, merging, statistics, and aggregation
- Command-line Terminal: Execute system commands directly
- Browser Control: Powered by
github.com/chromedp/chromedp- Chrome browser is required.
- In Windows, the full path to Chrome needs to be configured in the system environment variables.
- Future Plans:
- Personal PC data organization
- Document writing assistance
- Schedule planning
- Life assistant features
Warning
Currently, MoLing has only been tested on macOS, and other operating systems may have issues.

For example, to configure the Claude client, add the following configuration:
Tip
Only 3-6 lines of configuration are needed.
Claude config path:
~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config
{
"mcpServers": {
"MoLing": {
"command": "/usr/local/bin/moling",
"args": []
}
}
}
and, /usr/local/bin/moling is the path to the MoLing server binary you downloaded.
Automatic Configuration
run moling client --install to automatically install the configuration for the MCP client.
MoLing will automatically detect the MCP client and install the configuration for you. including: Cline, Claude, Roo Code, etc.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
