Electron

Electron MCP Server provides an Electron-based MCP server that starts alongside the app and exposes MCP endpoints so you can interact with Claude Desktop and other clients without needing separate Node or npx setup. It supports HTTP MCP requests, runs on a GUI-enabled Electron app, and works cross-platform across Windows, macOS, and Linux.

How to use

You run the Electron MCP Server as part of the Electron app and connect to it from an MCP client. The server exposes a main endpoint at http://localhost:3999/mcp for JSON-RPC style interactions and a health check at http://localhost:3999/health. Start the app, then use your MCP client to list tools, call tools, or query server information. You can monitor server status from the app’s GUI and adjust usage as needed.

How to install

Prerequisites: install Node.js and npm if you plan to develop or run development scripts locally. For end users, you typically run the packaged Electron app which includes the MCP server already bundled.

npm install

npm start

npm run dev
``

Configuration and runtime notes

The MCP server starts by default on port 3999. If you need to run on a different port during development, you can set the MCP_PORT environment variable before starting the app.

Additional notes

The app provides a GUI to monitor and control the server, and the endpoints remain stable for client integrations. When testing locally, you can use the health endpoint to verify the server is running and ready to accept requests.
