desktop-commander
Use Desktop Commander MCP (typically tools like `mcp__desktop-commander__*`) to manage local files and long-running processes: read/write/search files, apply precise edits, work with Excel/PDFs, run terminal commands and interact with REPLs (Python/Node/SSH/DB), inspect/terminate processes, and review tool call history. Use when the task requires doing real work on the machine (editing code/configs, searching a repo, analyzing CSV/Excel, generating/modifying PDFs, running commands with streaming output).
jetbrains-skill
Use the JetBrains IDE MCP Server (IntelliJ IDEA 2025.2+) to let an external client drive IDE-backed actions: run Run Configurations, execute commands in the IDE terminal, read/create/edit project files, search via IDE indexes (text/regex), retrieve code inspections for a file, fetch symbol info, perform rename refactoring, list modules/dependencies/repos, open files in the editor, and reformat code. Use when you want IDE-grade indexing/refactoring/inspection instead of raw shell scripting.
