Get Installed Apps MCP Server provides a lightweight MCP endpoint that returns a complete list of applications installed on your computer. It is designed to work with MCP-enabled AI clients to help them contextualize your environment.

How to use

Use this server with any MCP client to query the list of installed applications. The server exposes a simple tool you can call via MCP to retrieve JSON data describing all installed apps. You can leverage this data to tailor AI responses, perform inventory checks, or drive automated workflows that depend on which software is present on the machine.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installation: Node.js and npm. You should already have Git installed to clone the repository.

Step by step commands to set up the MCP server locally:

git clone https://github.com/Xutaotaotao/mcp-get-installed-apps.git
cd mcp-get-installed-apps
npm install
npm run build

MCP configuration

Configure the MCP JSON to run the local stdio server. The following configuration runs the built index file with Node.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "get-installed-apps": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "mcp-get-installed-apps/build/index.js"
      ]
    }
  }
}
