How to link AppControl to Claude Desktop (and any other AI that supports MCP)

AppControl’s new release includes an optional MCP (Model Context Protocol) server feature that allows AI agents and IDEs like Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and Gemini CLI to access and answer questions about your PC’s activity using historical AppControl data. MCP is an open standard that lets AI tools connect to local data sources and applications in a secure, user-controlled way.

This feature is off by default and must be enabled manually. All AppControl data remains stored locally on your PC. Nothing is shared unless you choose to connect an AI tool, and you must explicitly approve access to each type of data.

We’ve updated the setup page to make it easier. Check it out again if you had trouble previously.
