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.
