Who it is for
Developers who need an assistant to see local files without copying them out.

DeviceLink
Stream files from a local machine to an agent, scoped by folder
Overview
What DeviceLink does
DeviceLink gives an assistant read access to files on a computer without uploading them. Content streams from the machine while the agent is running and stops the moment it closes, which is a different trust model from copying a repository into a hosted index. Folders are shared explicitly, credentials and secrets are blocked by the platform, and team use is governed through organizations and workspaces with role-based permissions and configurable file policies. Sharing a folder, searching a codebase, reading files and listing directories are the described operations, and three tools are claimed.
Tool surface
Three tools are listed for read, search and directory operations, and since the endpoint returns 401 that shape comes from the listing rather than from a call.
Availability
Where DeviceLink is listed
DeviceLink is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. DeviceLink has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
Claude listing
In the Claude connectors directory
DeviceLink publishes 3 tools to Claude, a deliberately narrow surface; only 11.3% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Developer Tools publishes 13, so this one sits 10 tools below its bucket's median, 76th of 95.
It falls in the 1-3 tools band, which holds 16.4% of the Claude directory.
DeviceLink publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.

DeviceLink is community-listed in the Claude directory, the tier 770 of 1,253 connectors sit in (61.5%). It is the default for a self-published server, and says nothing either way about quality.
In the publisher's words
How DeviceLink describes it
DeviceLink connects AI assistants to files on your computer, securely and in real-time. Nothing is uploaded - files are streamed directly from your machine only while the agent is running. Share any folder, search your codebase, read files, and list directories, all within boundaries you control. Access is scoped to the folders you choose, credentials and secrets are always blocked, and closing the agent stops everything instantly. Manage team access through organizations and workspaces with role-based permissions and configurable file policies
