NVIDIA may automatically enable AI agents control server in NVIDIA App
NVIDIA’s latest NVIDIA App version 11.0.9.565 adds a local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets compatible AI assistants such as Hermes, OpenClaw and Perplexity control app functions. The release notes mention MCP support, but the setting “Allow AI agents to control NVIDIA App” appears turned on by default after the update, according to the author and other users.
Key points
- NVIDIA App 11.0.9.565 adds a local Model Context Protocol server for AI assistants
- The “Allow AI agents to control NVIDIA App” toggle is enabled by default after the update
- Users can disable the server in Settings → Features → Connect Agents & Apps, switching the toggle off
The server runs locally on 127.0.0.1 using port 13508 and can detect installed games, launch them, apply recommended graphics settings, enable ShadowPlay, capture screenshots, manage performance overlays, retrieve driver info and adjust some laptop power settings. While the server itself does not connect to external AI services, agents that rely on cloud models like OpenAI could potentially send retrieved data outward. Users without such agents have little reason to keep the server active. The feature can be disabled in NVIDIA App → Settings → Features → Connect Agents & Apps by switching the toggle from green to gray, which stops the persistent MCP server.
