One-switch AI client setup
Give your favorite AI a real virtual computer.
SlateVM can register its bundled MCP server for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and Codex. There is no configuration file to edit for clients shown in AI Control.
Turn on your AI clients
Open SlateVM Settings → AI Control, then turn on any detected client you want to use. If macOS asks, grant access to that client’s configuration folder.
Restart each client
Close and reopen each app or command-line session you enabled. SlateVM’s tools are available whenever SlateVM is running.

A release pipeline you can verify.
SlateVM’s release workflow signs the application with Developer ID, submits it for Apple notarization, staples the result, validates packaged components, publishes an immutable versioned DMG, and verifies the CDN copy by SHA-256 before marking it latest.
