MateMCP Overview

MateMCP MCP server connects compatible AI chats to an enrolled Windows or macOS computer through a local Agent and authenticated Relay. It exposes project-scoped files, shell sessions, browser and desktop interaction, attachments, secrets, approvals, and durable project context through MCP. OAuth, scopes, local credentials, and approval controls define what each AI client can do. Reach for it when an AI chat remains available after a provider’s built-in coding or agent tool reaches its usage limit, or when work needs controlled access to real local projects and applications.
