Implementation Reference
- src/it2mcp/server.py:791-798 (handler)Primary MCP tool handler for 'app_activate'. Decorated with @mcp.tool(), this async function activates iTerm2 by calling app.async_activate() through the _run helper. Returns 'iTerm2 activated' on success.
async def app_activate() -> str: """Activate iTerm2 (bring to front).""" async def _impl(connection: iterm2.Connection, app: iterm2.App) -> str: await app.async_activate() return "iTerm2 activated" return await _run(_impl) - src/it2mcp/server.py:1271-1275 (handler)Batch operation handler '_b_app_activate' for use within the batch() tool. Directly calls app.async_activate() without the _run wrapper since the connection is already established.
