Documentation Overview

DailyDesk

All-in-one productivity multi-tool — one app replacing six.

Use it inside Claude

An MCP server — its own repo, MIT — lets an assistant call the tools that genuinely need a server — the Office and PDF conversions, PDF/A, OCR, and web capture:

Terminal

claude mcp add --scope user diemdesk -- npx -y diemdesk-mcp

Nine tools, not a hundred: everything else runs in the browser and never touches a server, so exposing it here would mean uploading files to do work the machine already does locally. Setup guide, Claude Desktop config and troubleshooting: https://diemdesk.com/mcp-server
