From zero to connected

Four steps.

1. 01 · Create your account

   Register and confirm your email.

2. 02 · Install Infser

   Create a pairing code and run the installer for macOS, Windows or Linux, or install the Android app. At first the assistant only sees your home folder.

3. 03 · Connect your AI

   Add https://mcp.infser.com/mcp in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok and sign in with your Infser account.

4. 04 · Approve when it asks

   When the assistant asks, approve one grant for that device. It covers the listed actions for a limited time. Revoke it from Approvals.

Connect your AI

Every assistant uses the same address and the same Infser login. Sign in when the assistant asks. Do not paste a password or an API key into the chat.

The work runs on the computer you paired

The assistant can list your devices, work with files in allowed folders, take a screenshot, open a live view where it is available, and click or type while the grant is active.

On your devices, the assistant works only on the ones you paired, inside the allowed folders and while the grant is active.

ChatGPT · Claude · Gemini · Grok → Infser → your computer

Example: “List the files in my home folder and read the sample note.” Clicks and typing wait until you approve the grant.

Install Infser on a computer you control

Sign in, open Devices and create a pairing code. Run the command on that computer and confirm the device when it appears. The installer always downloads the latest published release.

Install only on computers you own or are allowed to administer. The installer checks the signed release before it changes the system. Pairing decides which workspace can use the machine.

curl -fsSL https://infser.com/install-agent.sh | sudo sh -s -- --pair <TOKEN>

curl -fsSL https://infser.com/install-agent-macos.sh | sudo sh -s -- --pair <TOKEN>

irm https://infser.com/install-agent.ps1 -OutFile install-agent.ps1; .\install-agent.ps1 -Pair <TOKEN>

Replace <TOKEN> with the pairing code from Devices. The code works once.

You do not need Node.js to install the agent. The optional CLI adds diagnostic commands: @infser/cli · npx --yes https://infser.com/downloads/cli/0.3.0/infser-cli-0.3.0.tgz doctor

Use Infser on an Android phone

The Android app is in preview. You install it from the Devices page and link it with your account, without pairing codes.

1. 01 · Download the app

   On the phone, open infser.com and sign in. In Devices, tap Add device, choose Android and download the app. Allow installs from this source when Android asks.

2. 02 · Sign in with Infser

   Open the app and tap Sign in with Infser. Confirm the phone in the browser.

3. 03 · Turn on remote access

   A persistent notification shows that it is on. Turn it off from the app or from the notification.

4. 04 · Allow device control

   In Settings › Accessibility, turn on Infser. It lets the assistant open apps, tap and type only while remote access is on.

5. 05 · Share the screen

   For screenshots, tap Allow screen sharing and choose the entire screen. Android asks again every time remote access restarts. Without sharing, an assistant can read the screen and tap only after you approve.

6. 06 · Choose folders

   In Shared folders, add only the folders you want the assistant to reach.

The app cannot read other apps’ private data: Android keeps it closed. Infser only sees the folders you add. In the app settings you can turn on Send logs: the app then sends error codes and counters only, never content, and you see them on the Devices page.

Home folder, or the whole disk

A new install allows only the signed-in user’s home folder. File tools cannot leave it. The full disk is your choice and is not the default.

Listing, reading and searching do not change anything. Writing, creating folders, moving and deleting need the grant.

• macOS and Linux: add --full-disk to the installer command, or set INFSER_ALLOWED_ROOTS.
• Windows: add -FullDisk. On macOS, the full disk still needs Full Disk Access for protected folders such as Desktop, Documents and Mail, and it does not bypass another user’s permissions.
• Updates keep your choice. If the folder settings are missing or broken, the update goes back to the home folder and keeps a copy of the old settings beside them.
• To change an existing computer, edit allowed_roots in the agent configuration and restart the agent. The dashboard has no switch for it.
• Android has no full-disk option: the assistant only sees the folders you add in the app.

macOS Screen Recording and Accessibility

The screen tools run in the Infser Desktop Worker app. The installer opens Screen Recording and Accessibility: switch on “Infser Desktop Worker” in both lists under System Settings → Privacy & Security. Infser does not flip those switches itself. You grant them once, and updates keep them. To open the prompts again, run sudo /usr/local/libexec/infser/infser-agent permissions, or rerun only that step with sudo sh install-agent-macos.sh --permissions. If you are not logged into the Mac desktop, sign in first. If you deny the prompts, file access keeps working and screen tools stay unavailable.

Update the agent

On a computer that is already paired, run the installer again without a new pairing code. It upgrades in place, keeps the device identity and always installs the latest published release. On Android, download the new app from Devices › Add device › Android and install it over the old one: your sign-in stays.

Uninstall

Uninstall leaves the device identity in place so a later install can reconnect. Purge also deletes that identity. Revoke the device from Devices if you do not want it to reconnect. On Android, use Logout in the app menu, then uninstall the app.

• Linux: sudo sh install-agent.sh --uninstall — add --purge to delete the device identity too.
• macOS: sudo sh install-agent-macos.sh --uninstall — add --purge to delete the device identity too.
• Windows, from an elevated PowerShell: .\install-agent.ps1 -Uninstall — add -Purge to delete the device identity too.

If something stops

• Slow network or “Connection reset”: the installer retries the download and resumes a partial file. If it still stops, run the same command again. The partial download is kept, and existing Infser services are not changed.
• Linux and macOS: the command needs sudo for installation. The running agent is not root.
• Windows: “Run this installer from an elevated PowerShell” means you must use Run as administrator. A normal window cannot install the service.
• The pairing code is single-use and it expires. Create a new code from Devices if the page stopped waiting.
• The device stays offline: confirm you approved it in the browser, then check that the computer can reach infser.com.
• Android shows “Reconnecting…”: check the phone’s connection, the app retries by itself. If Android ended screen sharing, allow it again from the app.

Screenshot, live view, mouse and keyboard

Screen tools run in the signed-in session. The live view arrives as frames over HTTPS and is not saved. It is available on Linux with X11; on Windows, macOS and Android it is in testing.

What each system needs

Windows uses UI Automation. macOS uses Accessibility and Screen Recording for Infser Desktop Worker. Linux uses X11 with AT-SPI, XTEST and native X11 capture. Android uses the Infser Accessibility service and Android screen sharing.

Security and privacy

• The assistant receives the tool result you asked for. It does not receive a standing copy of your disk.
• Screenshots and live frames are not written to the audit log. Live frames stay in memory until the next frame or until the stream stops.
• You can stop a stream from the chat, revoke the grant, sign out, or disconnect the device.
• Questions about your data: [email protected]. General questions: [email protected]. Do not send passwords or device keys by email.
