NexusWindows runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. Last commit 2 Nov 2026.
Windows computer use in the background: desktop apps driven without your mouse or keyboard.
What the code does
We read the source, 10 min ago · rules 995398eba69f
What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.
const child = spawn(helper, ['--mcp', '--agent', agent], { stdio: 'inherit', windowsHide: true });
const cache = path.join(home, 'plugins', 'cache', 'nexus-plugins', 'nexus-windows', manifest.version);
var start = new ProcessStartInfo(Program.HelperExecutable is { Length: > 0 } helper ? helper : throw new InvalidOperationException("Helper path unavailable"), "--com-worker")

This code can reach further than it looks
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.
