About Desktop Commander
-
Desktop Commander, founded in March 2025, is a Latvian startup developing software built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that gives AI direct access to a user’s computer to execute real-world tasks.
-
The product allows users to manage files, work with the terminal, and write or deploy code using plain language commands — for example, “organize my Downloads folder” or “install WordPress in my project directory.”
-
According to the company, Desktop Commander has become one of the most popular MCP solutions on Smithery, Docker MCP Hub, and the Claude connectors marketplace, attracting thousands of active users including developers, entrepreneurs, and knowledge workers.
“Desktop Commander is building the missing interface between AI and the real world – your own computer. Everyone talks about AI agents in the cloud, but the real transformation happens when AI can actually touch files, code, and local workflows,” said Raimonds Kulbergs, General Partner at BADideas Fund.
Investment details
The round was led by 42CAP, a German investment firm investing up to €3 million in early-stage startups in technology-driven B2B companies with global ambitions.
