Configuration

LLM API Setup

Set up your preferred LLM provider by setting the appropriate environment variables:

OpenAI

export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
export OPENAI_MODEL="gpt-4"  # optional, defaults to gpt-3.5-turbo

Claude/Anthropic

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
export ANTHROPIC_MODEL="claude-3-haiku-20240307"  # optional

Azure OpenAI

export AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key"
export AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT="https://your-resource.openai.azure.com/"
export AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="gpt-35-turbo"
export AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION="2024-02-15-preview"  # optional

Claude Desktop Integration

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "talk-to-pc": {
      "command": "talk-to-your-pc-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code Integration

For VS Code with GitHub Copilot, add to your VS Code settings or MCP configuration:

{
  "mcp.servers": {
    "talk-to-pc": {
      "command": "talk-to-your-pc-mcp-server"
    }
  }
}

Usage Examples

Once configured, you can interact with your PC using natural language through your AI assistant:

System Diagnosis

• "My computer is running slowly, can you diagnose the issue?"
• "Check why my internet connection is unstable"
• "Analyze my system performance"

PC Settings

• "What WiFi networks are available?"
• "Show me my current system specs"
• "What's my battery level?"
• "Check my audio volume settings"

Troubleshooting

• "My WiFi isn't working, please fix it"
• "Clear my DNS cache"
• "Restart my audio services"
• "Fix network connectivity issues"

Security Features

• Command Validation: All commands are validated before execution
• Dangerous Command Blocking: Prevents execution of potentially harmful commands like rm -rf, format, del /f
• Timeout Protection: Commands are automatically terminated after 15 seconds
• Cross-Platform Safety: OS-specific safety checks for Windows, macOS, and Linux
• User Transparency: All executed commands and outputs are shown to users for verification

Platform-Specific Behavior

Windows

• Uses PowerShell for command execution
• Supports Windows-specific diagnostics (Event Viewer, WMI, etc.)
• Network management via netsh commands

macOS/Linux

• Uses bash for command execution
• Supports Unix-style system tools (ps, netstat, iwconfig, etc.)
• Package manager integration where appropriate

Development

Running from Source

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Irene-123/talk-to-your-pc-mcp-server.git
cd talk-to-your-pc-mcp-server

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Set your API key
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-key-here"

# Run the server
python server.py

Testing

# Test with MCP Inspector
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector python server.py

# Or test individual functions
python -c "
import asyncio
from server import get_pc_settings
result = asyncio.run(get_pc_settings('check WiFi status'))
print(result)
"

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Import Errors: Make sure all dependencies are installed with pip install -r requirements.txt
2. LLM API Errors: Verify your API keys are set correctly and have sufficient credits
3. Permission Errors: Some system commands may require elevated privileges
4. Command Timeouts: Long-running diagnostics are automatically terminated after 15 seconds for safety

Debug Logging

Enable debug logging to troubleshoot issues:

export LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
python server.py

Logs are written to ~/mcp_server.log for persistent debugging.
