### Description (declared)

# dot-mcp

Personal MCP agent for ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini: shell, files, memory,
goals, tasks, inbox, scheduler, and self-hosted OAuth — running on your
own machine.

> ⚠️ The server gives full shell access to whoever holds a credential.
> Expose it only while you use it, then stop it (`dot-mcp stop`).

## Install

```bash
pip install dot-mcp
```

Requires Python 3.10+ and OpenSSH (`ssh`, `ssh-keygen`) for the tunnel.

## Use

```bash
dot-mcp start    # server + public URL (runs in background)
dot-mcp status   # check if it is running
dot-mcp stop     # stop server + tunnel
```

`dot-mcp start` prints everything the connector needs:

```
Public URL            https://xxxx.tunnl.gg/mcp/
Owner secret          <stored on your machine>
OAuth Client ID       dots-xxxxxxxx
OAuth Client secret   <stored on your machine>
```

Add the **Public URL** as a custom MCP connector (auth = OAuth).
Approve once with the owner secret when asked. The tunnel URL stays the
same on restart; the free tunnel expires after 24h or 2h idle.

Linux/Termux is the supported runtime for process management. Stop only affects
processes started with the new ownership records. If upgrading from an older
version, stop its server/tunnel before starting this version; bare legacy PID
files are deliberately not trusted.

`DOT_MCP_STATE_DIR` overrides the complete credential/SSH-key directory
(default `~/.config/dot-mcp`), not its parent. This is separate from `--data-dir`.

File paths are relative to `$HOME` unless absolute. Absolute paths retain their
location and must fall within `$HOME`, `$TMPDIR`, or available shared storage;
other paths are rejected, not silently placed under HOME. On Android, when
`$TMPDIR` is outside `/tmp`, `/tmp` and `/tmp/...` map to `$TMPDIR`. File tools
return the effective `path`. Shell command text is never remapped, so use that
effective path in shell commands when this mapping applies.

File roots are guardrails, not a shell sandbox. A shell credential still grants
fu…
