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.
