Don't lose this
Three weeks from now, you'll want DesktopCommanderMCP again. Will you remember where to find it?
Save it to your library and the next time you need DesktopCommanderMCP, it’s one tap away — from any AI app you use. Group it into a bench with the rest of the team for that kind of task and you can pull the whole stack at once.
⚡ Pro tip for geeks: add a-gnt 🤵🏻♂️ as a custom connector in Claude or a custom GPT in ChatGPT — one click and your library is right there in the chat. Or, if you’re in an editor, install the a-gnt MCP server and say “use my [bench name]” in Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, or Windsurf.
