DeviceLink MCP

DeviceLink MCP allows AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT to read and search folders on the user's local computer without uploading files. It provides a secure, read-only interface where users explicitly authorize access to specific directories, ensuring data privacy and local processing speed.

discover

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-only

Discover workspaces, devices, shared folders, and available tools in one call. Call this first to understand what is available before invoking device_tool_call. Automatically selects workspace, device, or folder when only one option exists; returns a list of choices when disambiguation is needed.

device_tool_call

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised destructive

Execute a tool on a connected device. Use discover first to find available tool names, device IDs, and workspace IDs. When workspace_id, device_id, or directory_id are omitted, the server uses the unambiguous default if one exists.

device_ping

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-only

Check that a device is reachable and how long a round trip takes. Reads no files, needs no shared folder and consumes no credit, so it is the safe way to prove a device is live.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.

Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http devicelink-mcp https://mcp.devicelink.ai/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).

Codex configuration

codex mcp add devicelink-mcp --url https://mcp.devicelink.ai/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable devicelink-mcp in your MCP settings.

Cursor configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "devicelink-mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.devicelink.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).

Cline configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "devicelink-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://mcp.devicelink.ai/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start devicelink-mcp and inspect its tools.

VS Code configuration

{
  "servers": {
    "devicelink-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.devicelink.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.

Gemini CLI configuration

gemini mcp add --transport http devicelink-mcp https://mcp.devicelink.ai/mcp

Claude Desktop

Merge this into claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\), then restart Claude Desktop.

Claude Desktop configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "devicelink-mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.devicelink.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.

Windsurf configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "devicelink-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.devicelink.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
