A Model Context Protocol server that exposes the canonical Desktop Mate knowledge surface — directory listings, source evidence, and official links, FAQ, official links — to MCP-compatible AI clients such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and Continue. Read-only, no API keys, no quota, ~50 ms cold start.

Official website: https://desktop-mate.com

## 🗂️ About Desktop Mate

Desktop Mate is an independent community guide for finding Desktop Mate downloads, platform details, characters, and mod sources. It links to verified publisher, Steam, and mod destinations so visitors can choose the appropriate official or community page.

The site is a static guide and does not host Desktop Mate, DLC, mods, or character files. This MCP exposes the guide's documented scope and canonical website as read-only context; it cannot install software, inspect a mod, or guarantee that an external download remains available.

Desktop Mate is not affiliated with infiniteloop, Valve/Steam, or character rights holders. Use the linked destinations and their own terms when downloading or using third-party content.
