### Installing Desktop Commander via npx setup command (Bash)

Source: https://github.com/strawhatai/claude-dev-tools/blob/main/README.md

This command directly executes the `setup` script of the `@wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander` package using `npx`. It automates the installation of dependencies, server building, and Claude desktop app configuration. Requires `npm` and `npx`.

```bash
npx @wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander setup
```

--------------------------------

### Setting Up Desktop Commander from Local Git Repository (Bash)

Source: https://github.com/strawhatai/claude-dev-tools/blob/main/README.md

These commands clone the Desktop Commander source code from GitHub, navigate into the directory, and then run the `npm run setup` script. This method is for developers who want to work with the source code directly, installing dependencies, building the server, and configuring Claude. Requires Git and npm.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/wonderwhy-er/ClaudeComputerCommander.git
cd ClaudeComputerCommander
npm run setup
```

--------------------------------

### Installing Desktop Commander via Smithery CLI (Bash)

Source: https://github.com/strawhatai/claude-dev-tools/blob/main/README.md

This command uses the Smithery CLI to automatically install the Claude Desktop Commander. It's the recommended method for quick setup, ensuring all necessary dependencies and configurations are handled. Requires `npm` and `npx` to be installed.

```bash
npx -y @smithery/cli install @wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander --client claude
```

### Example of Search/Replace Block for Code Editing (Text)

Source: https://github.com/strawhatai/claude-dev-tools/blob/main/README.md

This example demonstrates how to use the search/replace block format to modify a JavaScript file. It targets `src/main.js`, replacing the string `console.log("old message");` with `console.log("new message");`. This format is ideal for small, precise code changes.

```text
src/main.js
<<<<<<< SEARCH
console.log("old message");
=======
console.log("new message");
>>>>>>> REPLACE
```

### Manually Configuring Desktop Commander in Claude Desktop (JSON)

Source: https://github.com/strawhatai/claude-dev-tools/blob/main/README.md

This JSON configuration snippet is added to the `claude_desktop_config.json` file to manually register the Desktop Commander as an MCP server. It specifies `npx` as the command and the package name as arguments, allowing Claude to launch the server. Requires manual editing of the configuration file.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "desktop-commander": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

### Understanding the Search/Replace Block Format (Text)

Source: https://github.com/strawhatai/claude-dev-tools/blob/main/README.md

This snippet illustrates the specific text format used for `edit_block` operations. It defines a file path, followed by `<<<<<<< SEARCH` to delimit the existing code to be replaced, `=======` as a separator, and `>>>>>>> REPLACE` to delimit the new code to be inserted. This format enables surgical text replacements within files.

```text
filepath.ext
<<<<<<< SEARCH
existing code to replace
=======
new code to insert
>>>>>>> REPLACE
```
