MoLing MCP Server

English | 中文 | 日本語

Introduction

MoLing is a computer-use and browser-use MCP Server that implements system interaction through operating system APIs, enabling file system operations such as reading, writing, merging, statistics, and aggregation, as well as the ability to execute system commands. It is a dependency-free local office automation assistant.

Advantages

[!IMPORTANT] Requiring no installation of any dependencies, MoLing can be run directly and is compatible with multiple operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS. This eliminates the hassle of dealing with environment conflicts involving Node.js, Python, Docker and other development environments.

Features

[!CAUTION] Command-line operations are dangerous and should be used with caution.

• File System Operations: Reading, writing, merging, statistics, and aggregation
• Command-line Terminal: Execute system commands directly
• Browser Control: Powered by github.com/chromedp/chromedp
  • Chrome browser is required.
  • In Windows, the full path to Chrome needs to be configured in the system environment variables.
• Future Plans:
  • Personal PC data organization
  • Document writing assistance
  • Schedule planning
  • Life assistant features

[!WARNING] Currently, MoLing has only been tested on macOS, and other operating systems may have issues.
