How do I use Shellagent MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type `@` followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "`@Shellagent MCP Server` list all running processes on my system" 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](https://glama.ai/blog/2025-07-08-how-to-install-and-use-mcp-servers).

Shellagent MCP Server by myshell-joe

shellagent-mcp MCP Server

NPM Downloads

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for shellagent-mcp

Requirements

Node.js 18 or newer
VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop or any other MCP client

Getting started

Local (Stdio)

First, install the Commands MCP server with your client. A typical configuration looks like this:

{ "mcpServers": { "shellagent-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "mcp-server-shellagent-mcp@latest" ] } } }

You can also install the shellagent-mcp MCP server using the VS Code CLI:

# For VS Code code --add-mcp '{"name":"shellagent-mcp","command":"npx","args":["mcp-server-shellagent-mcp@latest"]}'

After installation, the Commands MCP server will be available for use with your GitHub Copilot agent in VS Code.

Go to Cursor Settings -> MCP -> Add new MCP Server. Name to your liking, npx mcp-server-shellagent-mcp. You can also verify config or add command like arguments via clicking Edit.

{ "mcpServers": { "shellagent-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "mcp-server-shellagent-mcp@latest" ] } } }

Follow Windsuff MCP documentation. Use following configuration:

{ "mcpServers": { "shellagent-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "mcp-server-shellagent-mcp@latest" ] } } }

Follow the MCP install guide, use following configuration:

{ "mcpServers": { "shellagent-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "mcp-server-shellagent-mcp@latest" ] } } }

Remote (SSE / Streamable HTTP)

At the same time, use --port $your_port arg to start the browser mcp can be converted into SSE and Streamable HTTP Server.

# normal run remote mcp server npx mcp-server-shellagent-mcp --port 8089

You can use one of the two MCP Server remote endpoint:

Streamable HTTP(Recommended): http://127.0.0.1::8089/mcp
SSE: http://127.0.0.1::8089/sse

And then in MCP client config, set the url to the SSE endpoint:

{ "mcpServers": { "shellagent-mcp": { "url": "http://127.0.0.1::8089/sse" } } }

url to the Streamable HTTP:

{ "mcpServers": { "shellagent-mcp": { "type": "streamable-http", // If there is MCP Client support "url": "http://127.0.0.1::8089/mcp" } } }

In-memory call

If your MCP Client is developed based on JavaScript / TypeScript, you can directly use in-process calls to avoid requiring your users to install the command-line interface to use Commands MCP.

import { Client } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js'; import { InMemoryTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/inMemory.js'; // type: module project usage import { createServer } from 'mcp-server-shellagent-mcp'; // commonjs project usage // const { createServer } = await import('@agent-infra/mcp-server-commands') const client = new Client( { name: 'test commands client', version: '1.0', }, { capabilities: {}, }, ); const server = createServer(); const [clientTransport, serverTransport] = InMemoryTransport.createLinkedPair(); await Promise.all([ client.connect(clientTransport), server.connect(serverTransport), ]); // list tools const result = await client.listTools(); console.log(result); // call tool const toolResult = await client.callTool({ name: 'test_tool', arguments: { hello: 'hello' }, }); console.log(toolResult);
