MoLing – Local AI Office Automation Assistant, based on MCP server

What is MoLing?

MoLing is a dependency-free local office automation assistant and an MCP server designed for use with computers and browsers. Leveraging operating system APIs, MoLing enables seamless system interaction, supporting file system operations (such as reading, writing, merging, statistics, and aggregation) and executing system commands. Compatible with Windows, Linux, and macOS, MoLing requires no additional dependencies, eliminating conflicts with development environments like Node.js, Python, and Docker. It is well-suited for a variety of office automation scenarios.

The main functions of MoLing

• File operations: Read, write, and merge files, as well as perform data statistics and aggregation.
• Command execution: Directly run system commands. Batch operations are supported, which is suitable for development and Ops.
• Browser control: Automate web page operations, such as capturing content and filling in forms. Headless mode is supported.

The technical principles of MoLing

• Operating System API: Operations on the local file system and command line are implemented based on the APIs provided by the operating system. The operating system API provides access interfaces for underlying functions such as the file system, process management, and network communication.
• Browser Automation Framework: The browser automation framework is implemented based on the github.com/chromedp/chromedp browser automation framework, which enables browser control functionality. chromedp is a Go language library based on the Chrome DevTools Protocol, allowing developers to programmatically control the Chrome browser.
• Standalone Operation: Developed in Go, which is characterized by cross-platform and compiled capabilities, generating independent executable files without the need for external dependencies. This eliminates compatibility issues caused by environmental configuration problems, allowing seamless operation on various operating systems such as Windows, Linux, and macOS.
• Flexible deployment modes:
  ◦ Stdio mode: A command-line-based interactive mode, suitable for human-machine collaboration.
  ◦ SSR mode: Server-side rendering mode, suitable for remote calls and distributed deployment. MoLing runs as a server and supports remote client calls, making it suitable for scenarios requiring distributed deployment.
