Download Desk

Local AI operator desktop

AetherDesk.
Install. Open. Run agents.

A real desktop on your machine — bounded terminal, receipts, browser agent, and an MCP hallway so Codex and Claude walk into apps without a raw shell. CLI ships on npm and PyPI. Desk ships as one Windows zip.

Download for Windows npm · PyPI installs

Desktop shortcut after install · 127.0.0.1:5717 · MCP for Codex / Claude

Audience

Built for people who run systems, not demos

Rooms

Pick a door. Download or connect.

Each room is a shippable surface. The hallway is how agents move without treating your laptop like an open shell.

Registries

npm and PyPI — same product family, two ecosystems

Desk is a portable ZIP. CLI and engine ship on public registries so builders can npm i or pip install without cloning.

Middleware

Matrix hallways, not spaghetti APIs

One local desk process exposes MCP and OpenAI-style connectors. Agents enter the hallway, read the tool plane, then open only the room they need — Terminal, Browser, workflows, status. Backdoors are intentional, allowlisted, receipted.
