Overview

What is PowerShell MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables Claude and other LLM applications to execute PowerShell commands, scripts, and perform system operations on Windows systems.

How to use PowerShell MCP Server?

Clone the repository, install dependencies with npm install, and run complete-setup.bat for automated setup or follow manual configuration steps. After setup, ask Claude natural language commands like “Execute PowerShell: Get-Date” or “Check my system information”.

Frequently asked questions

What are the prerequisites?

Windows 10/11 or Windows Server 2016+, Node.js 18.0.0+, PowerShell 5.1+ or PowerShell Core 7+, and the Claude Desktop application.

How does the server ensure security?

It uses `-ExecutionPolicy Bypass` and `-NoProfile` for safe PowerShell execution, validates all inputs with Zod schemas, disposes sessions after use, and logs operations to stderr without interfering with JSON-RPC.

Where is the Claude Desktop configuration stored?

The configuration file is located at `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`. The setup script automatically applies the required settings and creates backups.

How can I troubleshoot if the server won't start?

Check Node.js version (must be 18+), run `npm install` to ensure dependencies, or test components with `node test-server.js`. For Claude integration issues, use `setup.bat` or manually verify the config file.

What's new in recent updates?

Recent versions (v1.1.2) introduced safe configuration management with automatic backups, a recovery tool, and merge capability for multiple MCP server configs. Previous fixes resolved JSON parsing errors and simplified setup.
