GhostDesk

GhostDesk is a Model Context Protocol server that gives an AI agent a full desktop to work on. It lets the agent see the screen, click, type and launch applications the way a person would, either inside a disposable containerized sandbox or directly on the machine in front of the user. It is the flagship project of YV17Labs, a small research and development lab, and is published as open source on GitHub. The design is deliberately neutral about everything above it. Written in Rust and shipped with Docker, it runs on Linux, macOS and Windows, works with any MCP client and any model, so teams are not tied to one agent framework or one provider. That suits developers building agent workflows that have to touch desktop software with no API, QA and automation work that needs a throwaway environment, and anyone who wants computer use capability behind a protocol their existing tooling already speaks. The lab builds its other projects to interlock: GhostDesk runs on its own Rust backend framework, and its desktop chat client can drive GhostDesk over MCP while generating images through the lab's local image gateway. No pricing is published. The lab runs no pricing, plans or billing page and lists no paid tier, offering the code on GitHub and an email address for questions, collaborations or enterprise needs around its projects. Anything commercial is therefore arranged directly. One point for anyone following the listed link: it resolves to the YV17Labs site, which covers the whole lab including its backend framework, chat client, local image gateway and browser based experiments, with GhostDesk as one project among them rather than a standalone product page.
