The right build.
The right expectations.

Different releases for Windows and Mac. Compare your options before installing—especially the Mac security requirements.

macOS is a developer preview, not Apple-notarized. Switching DMG to ZIP does not bypass Gatekeeper.

WINDOWS 10 / 11v0.3.0 · Stable release

Ready for the Windows setup path.

Download the ZIP, extract all files and run the top-level INSTALL.cmd. Windows SmartScreen may still ask you to review an unsigned installer.

01 Download ZIP02 Extract all03 Review & run INSTALL.cmd
Windows downloads

Requires a configured local MCP environment. First-run automatic provisioning on a clean machine is not guaranteed.

MAC · APPLE SILICONv0.4.0-rc.2 · Preview

Choose how you want to install.

UNNOTARIZED DMG / ZIP Prebuilt app

Fastest download, but not notarized. macOS may block launch. Only approve a verified, trusted app in System Settings.

SOURCE-INSTALL.tar.gz Local build

Free to compile on your Mac, but requires Node.js, Rust and Xcode Command Line Tools, plus Terminal. Not one-click.

Mac preview downloads

Only Apple Silicon M-series is covered. No tested Intel package. Never disable Gatekeeper globally.

Connection anatomy

Three systems.
One visible route.

Your computer does the work. The tunnel makes your MCP endpoint reachable. ChatGPT connects only after your authorization.

01

Your machine

The upstream cokacremote server runs locally. The manager checks its health, PID, version and ownership before making changes.

Local execution
02

Authenticated tunnel

cloudflared exposes a temporary HTTPS endpoint. The existing route is kept when healthy; new URLs require a connector check.

OAuth approval
03

ChatGPT

Register the MCP endpoint in ChatGPT's Plugins area, review permissions and authorize it yourself. The manager does not control your ChatGPT account.

A demonstration of the intended first-run flow. The public builds still require prerequisites and have not been tested as fully automatic installers on every clean machine.

ChatGPT setup

One human approval.
A visible connection.

After the MCP service is healthy, registration happens inside your own ChatGPT account—not through an automated browser action.

1

In the manager, verify the server, Cloudflare endpoint and OAuth status. Copy the HTTPS MCP endpoint.

2

On ChatGPT web, open Plugins and add a custom MCP server if your account or workspace permits it.

3

Enter the endpoint. Review available tools and permissions, then complete OAuth approval in the connection flow.

4

Test a low-risk read-only action first. If the Quick Tunnel hostname changes, update the connection.

Trust boundary

Visibility is a security feature.

This manager is designed for a powerful local MCP service. It should fail closed when a process owner is unknown, an authorization check fails, or an external operation's result is uncertain.

↳

No silent installation

Missing dependencies require your explicit approval. Existing healthy tools are reused.

⌁

No guessed connection state

Local health does not prove your ChatGPT plugin is connected. Check both ends.

⊘

No security shortcuts

macOS notarization and signed distribution matter. Never disable Gatekeeper to install software.

How it helps in practice.

Illustrative scenarios based on actual implemented manager behavior—not customer testimonials or guaranteed outcomes.

01 / OPERATE

Reuse a healthy connection.

Verify your running local MCP service and Cloudflare Tunnel, retaining a healthy route instead of restarting unnecessarily.

View workflow ↗
02 / PREPARE

Prepare tools with explicit approval.

Inspect Node.js, Git and cloudflared, review missing dependencies and approve individually supported installation actions.

View workflow ↗
03 / CONNECT

Connect ChatGPT under OAuth consent.

Copy a verified public MCP URL. Register a custom MCP connection if your ChatGPT account supports it, then authorize yourself.

Questions before you connect.

Plain-language answers about the software, platform releases, security and the local MCP connection. These are product facts, not live device diagnostics.

What is cokacremote Desktop Manager?

It is an independent desktop control panel for an upstream local cokacremote MCP server, its Cloudflare Quick Tunnel and OAuth state. It helps you inspect and manage a connection used by ChatGPT; it is not an official OpenAI product.

Does it install the upstream MCP server automatically?

No. The manager does not bundle the upstream server. Dependency inspection and consent-based installation are available in supported flows, but a new computer may still need prerequisites and manual setup.

Can it connect ChatGPT to my computer without my approval?

No. You register the current HTTPS /mcp endpoint in your own ChatGPT account if that feature is available, review permissions and complete OAuth authorization. Do not share approval keys or private tokens.

Which download should I choose for Windows and macOS?

Windows 10/11 currently has a v0.3.0 stable ZIP with a top-level INSTALL.cmd. Apple Silicon Macs have a v0.4.0-rc.2 preview: either an unnotarized DMG or ZIP, or a local-source build that needs Node.js, Rust and Xcode Command Line Tools.

Will changing a Mac DMG to ZIP avoid Gatekeeper?

No. The downloaded macOS preview is not Apple Developer ID notarized. Changing packaging formats does not make the prebuilt app trusted. Use Apple's individual-app approval only if you trust the source; never disable Gatekeeper globally.

Can it still work when my computer is off?

No. The MCP server and Cloudflare tunnel run on your computer. If the device is asleep, powered off or offline, ChatGPT cannot reach that local service. Quick Tunnel URLs can also change when restarted.
