Convert Office files and PDFs, OCR a scan, or capture a web page — from your assistant.

DailyDesk

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

Use it inside Claude

npm

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:

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

  • Node.js 20+
  • PostgreSQL 16
  • Redis 7
  • MinIO (optional for local dev)

Backend

cd backend
npm install
cp .env.example .env
npm run dev

npm install
cp .env.example .env.local
npm run dev

Installation

Source-derived launch command. Check the maintainer’s required arguments and credentials before running:

bash
npx -y diemdesk-mcp

Set up in your AI client

Merge this template into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Keep existing servers. Add any arguments, credentials, and permissions required by the maintainer; this template has not been install-tested.

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "com-diemdesk-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "diemdesk-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop completely for changes to take effect. Confirm the server appears connected in the client’s tool list, then try a read-only example from its documentation.
