What is claude-code-desktop-sync?

A synchronisation plugin that keeps stdio MCP server settings aligned between Claude Code and Claude Desktop. MCP servers are programs that provide tools or data to an AI assistant.

Use it to copy one-sided configuration changes, convert launch commands for Desktop, back up settings, and identify HTTP or header-auth servers that cannot be copied automatically.

It avoids maintaining two separate server configurations and reports conflicts or servers that need manual setup.

Security

Grade A, and why

claude-code-desktop-sync scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it installs

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
