Built a web-based ChatGPT MCP assistant that lets ChatGPT directly control my local computer and think deeply

I recently made a web-based MCP assistant.

It mainly solves one problem:

Without Codex or having to keep a command line open, you can directly let web-based ChatGPT call your local MCP to read and write files, modify code, execute commands, and complete project tasks in a specified working directory.

I’m already using it in my daily work. So far, I’ve mainly built the following:

Web-based ChatGPT can connect directly to a local MCP

You can switch working directories freely

ChatGPT can read, modify, and create local project files

Supports executing commands, running projects, packaging, and more

You can call tools continuously within the same ChatGPT conversation

Provides feedback on local runtime status, task status, and tool calls

Designed to make the user experience feel as close as possible to ChatGPT / Codex, rather than like a traditional MCP console

Windows desktop app; once launched, you generally don’t need to deal with the command line anymore

I originally made this because I often use ChatGPT to write projects. The web-based model is very capable, but it can’t operate my computer.

So my goal has always been simple:

Make web-based ChatGPT actually get work done like Codex, rather than just chat.

It’s still being actively developed. I’ve also been continually improving the UI, stability, and status feedback for long-running tasks.

Here are some screenshots from actual use:


This is a static website built with a single command and self-hosted on GitHub:

If you find any bugs or anything difficult to use, feel free to let me know directly. I’ll keep improving it.

It’s always WorkBuddy AI calling EasyCLIProxyAPI, or the remote CLIProxyAPI. When Plus isn’t enough, use the free gpt-6-luna with no limits.

Luna on the free account doesn’t seem to think. Mine uses the paid account’s deep-thinking mode and then operates on files on the computer.

Whoa… thanks, legend :hushed_face:

S…, is there any risk of getting my account banned, bro…

Use the paid account’s deep-thinking feature, then work with files on the computer. Thank you for your selfless sharing~xhj15

No risk—it connects to the official tunnel and is implemented through an MCP created on the official website, so your account can’t possibly be banned.

NB!!! So, based on this, could I build an MCP that connects to an agent on my computer? Wouldn’t that essentially be a web-based agent that can be accessed without needing a reverse proxy?

Do you mean turning this software into something like an agent, or creating your own MCP for other models to use directly?

Study a little

Right? Or rather, can it be used to call/use GPT models in agent software like Hermes without reverse proxying?
Is that feasible?
If so, I’d be absolutely thrilled (a bunch of quickly farmed Plush accounts…)

Thanks for sharing, legend!

Thank you for your hard work. By the way, could you provide a portable version? I have too many applications installed on my computer, making the system unusually bloated. Can I use it with a free account?

The OP’s approach is pretty clever—it’s basically bringing the Codex experience to the web, while avoiding the hassle of keeping a command line running all the time. One thing I’m curious about: are there any safeguards, like a second confirmation step or an allowlist for working directories, when executing commands? I’d be a little worried that letting the web interface run local shell commands could allow a single prompt injection to blow up the environment one day.

Free accounts don’t have a thinking quota.

This tunnel can only run within the configured working directory; it can’t even see other directories from outside.

Thanks for sharing

Got it.

Looks like it’s broken.


Hey, there’s a bug.
