mcp_shell_server

An MCP server capable of executing any terminal command securely and efficiently

MCP Shell Server - Udemy Course Project

This repository contains the final project developed during the Udemy course: "Build, Connect, Deploy: Master MCP Servers, MCP Clients, Tools & Resources for Powerful LLM Applications".

📘 Project Overview

The project demonstrates a fully functional MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables the execution of arbitrary shell commands from connected clients. The purpose of this server is to provide a secure and flexible interface between language models and the underlying operating system through shell access.

🚀 Key Features

  • Shell Command Execution: Supports dynamic execution of any shell command via a structured MCP interface.
  • Cross-Platform Support: Compatible with Linux, macOS, and Windows (via CMD or PowerShell).
  • Resource Exposure: Provides useful system-level information such as platform, hostname, shell path, and environment details.
  • Secure Execution: Implements safeguards like command restrictions, output length limits, and execution timeouts.
  • Easy Integration: Designed to be easily embedded in larger AI agent systems or connected with popular MCP clients.

🧱 Tech Stack

  • Python
  • MCP Protocol
  • Shell/Terminal Interfaces

This repository reflects my practical understanding and hands-on application of the principles taught in the course. Feedback and contributions are welcome!

local-only server

The server can only run on the client's local machine because it depends on local resources.

A secure interface that enables language models to execute shell commands on the host operating system through the Model Context Protocol.
