Linux Manager MCP
Allows AI agents to manage a Linux server through shell sessions, including background execution and sudo separation.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Linux Manager MCPCheck system load and disk space, then show me the top memory processes"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
This is a for-fun project. Do not use it in production, and do not use it on any machine you care about: you are on your own if you do. No security guarantees are made.

Introduction
Give your LLM access to your Linux server and let it drive. Unlike OpenClaw, this is an lite MCP plugin: it needs no API key, and for now it has no memory either.

Features
Multiple shell windows, with background execution.
When you ask an LLM to install a dependency, a conventional MCP will just keep running until the command finishes or the timeout kills it.
This project lets the LLM open several shell windows, set its own foreground wait time and hard kill time, and pull the output so far at any moment to see how things are going.
Every shell window has a notes area.
So the LLM can remind itself why a window was opened and what has been done in it.
Sudo separation, no sudo privileges by default.
Shell sessions handed to the LLM are non-sudo; it has to explicitly ask for sudo to get it.
Sudo can be turned off entirely in the program.
TODO
Ctrl+C to interrupt a command (instead of killing the whole shell), finer-grained controls, a logging system, several people controlling the same machine.
