WinRemote MCP — Run MCP Servers Remotely on Windows

中文说明 | English README

The ultimate Windows MCP server for remote desktop control and automation. Control any Windows machine through the Model Context Protocol — perfect for AI agents, Claude Desktop. Transform your Windows desktop into a powerful, remotely-accessible automation endpoint.

Run on the Windows machine you want to control. Built with FastMCP and the Model Context Protocol.

Quickstart (30 seconds)

# Install from PyPI
pip install winremote-mcp

# Start the Windows MCP server
winremote-mcp

That's it! Your Windows MCP server is now running on http://127.0.0.1:8090 and ready to accept commands from MCP clients like Claude Desktop.

🤖 Agent Integrations

winremote-mcp works with MCP-compatible AI agents and clients. Client-specific setup guides live in this repo:

Hermes — add winremote as a native streamable HTTP or stdio MCP server.
OpenClaw — use winremote as OpenClaw's Windows control layer.
Claude Desktop / Claude Code — configure local stdio or remote streamable HTTP.
Cursor — add winremote to .cursor/mcp.json.

Hermes Setup

Run winremote-mcp on the Windows machine, then add it to Hermes as an MCP server:

pip install winremote-mcp
winremote-mcp --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8090 --auth-key "your-secret-key"

mcp_servers:
  winremote:
    type: streamable-http
    url: http://<windows-ip>:8090/mcp
    headers:
      Authorization: Bearer your-secret-key

See the full Hermes integration guide for local stdio setup, verification prompts, and available capabilities.

🤖 OpenClaw Integration

winremote-mcp is the official Windows control layer for OpenClaw. Together they give your AI agent full remote control over any Windows machine — screenshots, PowerShell, file transfer, GUI automation, and more.

The Easiest Way: Just Tell OpenClaw

You don't need to configure anything manually. Just tell your OpenClaw agent:

"Install winremote-mcp on my Windows machine at 192.168.1.100 and connect it to yourself. Python is installed at C:\Python311\python.exe."

OpenClaw will SSH into the Windows machine, install the package, start the server, and wire up the MCP connection — all automatically.

Manual Setup (Step by Step)

Step 1 — Install on Windows

pip install winremote-mcp

Step 2 — Start the server

Local-only quick start (default, safest):

winremote-mcp

Remote access requires authentication:

Starting with v0.4.20, winremote-mcp refuses to bind HTTP transport to a non-loopback address without authentication. Use an API key for LAN or remote access:

winremote-mcp --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8090 --auth-key YOUR_SECRET_KEY

For lab-only legacy behavior, you can explicitly acknowledge the risk with --allow-insecure-remote; do not use this on shared, routed, or internet-exposed networks.

Auto-start on boot:

winremote-mcp install

Step 3 — Connect OpenClaw
