Tmux MCP Server

Model Context Protocol server that enables Claude Desktop to interact with and view tmux session content. This integration allows AI assistants to read from, control, and observe your terminal sessions.

Features

  • List and search tmux sessions
  • View and navigate tmux windows and panes
  • Capture and expose terminal content from any pane
  • Execute commands in tmux panes and retrieve results (use it at your own risk ⚠️)
  • Create new tmux sessions and windows
  • Split panes horizontally or vertically with customizable sizes
  • Kill tmux sessions, windows, and panes

Check out this short video to get excited!

Prerequisites

  • Node.js
  • tmux installed and running

Usage

Configure Claude Desktop

Add this MCP server to your Claude Desktop configuration:

"mcpServers": { "tmux": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "tmux-mcp"] } }

MCP server options

You can optionally specify the command line shell you are using, if unspecified it defaults to bash

"mcpServers": { "tmux": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "tmux-mcp", "--shell-type=fish"] } }

The MCP server needs to know the shell only when executing commands, to properly read its exit status.
