HopToDesk MCP: manage remote computers from your AI app

HopToDesk's MCP server gives your AI app hands on the computers you manage: list devices, run fixes, take screenshots and add new devices. Running a fix on someone's machine is a real action, so through ContextGate you can switch that tool off, have a policy warn or block first, and review every call in Activity.

Connect HopToDesk to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

  1. 1Click Connect HopToDesk free and sign in with your HopToDesk account.
  2. 2Every tool is on after connecting. Listing devices and taking screenshots only look, while running fixes and adding devices change things; switch those two off unless you want your AI app doing them.
  3. 3Add ContextGate to your AI app as a connector or MCP server. The steps for each app are on the Works with page.
  4. 4Ask your AI app to list your devices and take a screenshot of one, then open Activity to see both calls.

Remote support through HopToDesk

  • List the computers you manage from a chat.
  • Take a screenshot of a device to see what's on its screen.
  • Run a fix on a device from your AI app.
  • Add a new device to the computers you manage.

Guardrails for remote actions

  • Switch off the tools that run fixes or add devices; your AI app can't see or call them.
  • A policy can warn or block before a fix runs.
  • Activity records every device action, so you can see what ran and when.

What you get with HopToDesk and ContextGate

  • Your AI apps can use HopToDeskClaude, Cursor, ChatGPT and other AI apps reach HopToDesk through the one ContextGate connection you add to them.
  • You choose which tools they can useSwitch off any HopToDesk tool you don't want used. It's hidden from your AI apps and refused if called.
  • Every call is checked and recordedYour policies check each call (for example, personal data is hidden and secrets are blocked), and Activity keeps a record of it.

ContextGate sees only the tool calls that go through it, not your AI app's built-in tools or your chats.
