appcontrol-mcp-go
appcontrol-mcp-go is an MCP server. Its repository has 43 GitHub stars and is licensed under MIT; we last read it on 2026-10-23.
AppControl MCP serves as a local server that connects AI agents such as Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf to system history data from the AppControl desktop app. It allows querying of CPU, GPU, RAM, and disk usage, as well as the causes of slowdowns, heat spikes, and access to webcam, microphone, and location data.
Install
Read from appcontrol-mcp-go’s own README, close to verbatim -- not written by us, and not guessed.
claude mcp add appcontrol C:/MCP/appcontrol-mcp.exe

What it connects to
Unverified means a mention in the server’s own description, not a citation. A wrong claim here costs nothing to correct and nothing to trust yet.
Maintenance
AppControl MCP is a local server connecting AI agents and IDEs like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf to system history provided by the AppControl desktop app. Ask which apps used CPU, GPU, RAM, or disk, and what caused slowdowns, heat spikes, or webcam, mic, and location access. Built for deep historical monitoring and useful real-world PC insights.
What appcontrol-mcp-go can do
9 tools documented in its README. An AI client calls these by name.
get_stats- Get service stats, current timestamp, and uptime/idle intervals showing when the PC was on, off, or idle.
list_binaries- List tracked binaries with filters — unsigned-only, currently-running, first-seen-after date, path substring, or publisher ID.
get_binary- Get detailed info for one or more binaries by ID (batch with comma-separated IDs) — path, hash, signature, publisher, first-seen time, and running status.
list_processes- List currently running processes with binary ID, name, path, PID, and start time. Filterable by fields.
list_publishers- List code-signing publishers (certificate identities) — name, country, and linked binary/rule counts.
list_rules- List quarantine rules — blocked binaries and publishers with rule type and creation time.
query_history- Query security event history — binary first-seen events, quarantine blocks, alerts, and process starts. Filterable by event type, time range, and binary ID.
get_monitoring- Get time-series resource metrics — system-wide (CPU, memory, disk, GPU, temps) or per-binary with top-N/min-value filtering to find heavy resource consumers.
get_hardware- Get CPU, GPU, and temperature sensor info for the monitored system.
