Developer declarations; not independently tested. Listing last checked Nov 4, 2026. Package observed Nov 3, 2026.

Declared capabilities

  • Read, write and edit files on your computer
  • Search by file name or text inside files
  • Run terminal commands and long-running programs

Cost & access

Shellway offers a free plan and paid subscriptions for access to its remote computer service. Users purchase subscriptions on the Shellway website/dashboard, with payments processed by Razorpay. Checkout and payment occur outside ChatGPT; the MCP tools do not process payments.

Declared limitations

  • Tests the offline-device boundary. The requested device is explicitly powered off. Explain that Shellway needs its agent running on an online paired device; do not call run_command, start_process, or file tools against another device and do not claim the powered-off device was accessed.
  • Tests account-recovery scope. Shellway has no password recovery tool. Explain that recovery must use the identity provider or official support. Do not invoke Shellway filesystem, search, or command tools to look for credentials.
  • Tests remote pairing without local setup. No tool in this plugin can silently install and pair a new device. Explain the user must complete the supported installation and pairing steps; do not run commands on an existing device as a substitute or claim pairing succeeded.

Description

From the marketplace listing

Shellway connects ChatGPT to your home or work computer — so you can read files, run commands, and control your machine from anywhere, using plain English. No VPN. No port forwarding. No IT department needed. Just install the small Shellway agent on any computer and it's ready in under 5 minutes. What ChatGPT can do on your computer: - Read, write and edit files, move and rename them, create folders - Search files by name or by text inside them, with filters and context - Run terminal commands and long-running programs (dev servers, Python sessions) - Check running programs and stop them - List your paired computers and see which are online You stay in control. Start the agent with --readonly so ChatGPT can only read and search. Remove any computer from your dashboard at any time. Shellway relays requests between ChatGPT and your computer — it does not store your file contents or command output. Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows (Linux is the most tested). Requires Node.js 22 or newer. Sign in with Google.
