An MCP server that lets an AI agent use a real terminal the way a person does: type, press keys, click, read the screen, take a screenshot.

Give AI agents a persistent, interactive terminal with support for SSH, REPLs, database CLIs, TUI apps, and long-running processes.

Give Claude Desktop terminal, filesystem, and background-job access on your local Linux machine. Zero-dependency MCP extension, MIT-licensed.

Enables an AI agent to control a genuinely visible Windows terminal window by spawning it, sending keystrokes, reading the rendered console buffer, and closing it so a human can watch every action in real time.

Enables AI agents to spawn, interact with, and orchestrate multiple concurrent terminal sessions via tmux.

Enables MCP-compatible coding agents to schedule, check, postpone, and cancel Windows host shutdowns from WSL.

Windows-focused MCP server for terminal automation with persistent PowerShell sessions, live session logs, and VS Code integrated terminal bridge.

An MCP server that gives AI agents terminal execution, Python scripting, file management, and code search tools so they can carry out real development tasks. It exposes bash, Python, glob, grep, and file/folder operations over MCP for coding assistants and codebase exploration.

Enables AI agents to open persistent interactive terminal sessions with network devices over SSH, Telnet, TCP console, or serial, write raw commands including nested ssh/telnet transitions, and read full output without requiring a particular prompt format. It supports multiple concurrent sessions and keeps credentials/secrets out of MCP arguments or audit logs.

Enables MCP clients to observe and, when explicitly enabled, send constrained input to whitelisted tmux sessions, with support for local STDIO and loopback-only HTTP transport behind an authenticated tunnel.

A secure terminal execution server that enables controlled command execution with security features and resource limits via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

A server that enables AI assistants to execute terminal commands and retrieve outputs via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

A VSCode and Cursor extension that captures real-time terminal output and exposes it to AI assistants via the Model Context Protocol. It enables agents to proactively monitor logs, command execution, and errors without requiring manual copy-pasting from the user.

An MCP server that bridges AI assistants to real terminal sessions, enabling creation, management, and interaction with persistent PTY processes for running commands, monitoring output, and debugging.

A lightweight server that enables AI agents to interact natively with the Windows operating system for tasks like UI automation and application control. It allows LLMs to perform file navigation, simulate user input, and manage windows without requiring specialized computer vision models.

Enables ChatGPT on the web or mobile to run commands and edit files on a Windows PC through OpenAI Secure MCP Tunnel without opening inbound ports or exposing a public address.

Enables AI agents to spawn persistent terminal sessions, send keystrokes, read screen state, and assert output, allowing them to interact with stateful terminal applications like vim, htop, and gdb.

Enables an AI agent to control a Windows desktop directly, covering PowerShell/shell execution, UI automation, snapshots of open windows, and registry and process management. This hardened build ships with telemetry off by default, a destructive-command guard on PowerShell, and accurate version reporting.

Self-hosted server that lets ChatGPT, Grok, and stdio MCP clients read and write files, run PowerShell/CMD and interactive processes, and drive the Windows desktop through screenshots, window info, clicks, drags, and keyboard input. It connects via OpenAI Secure MCP Tunnels, an OAuth authorization-code + S256 PKCE HTTPS endpoint, or local stdio, exposing 38 tools under the user's own Windows account.

Enables AI coding agents to control real interactive shells, REPLs, and TUIs over stdio, supervise other agents, surface approval prompts, and verify outcomes without auto-approving or mistaking timeouts for success.

A production-ready MCP server for secure, session-based command execution, file manipulation, and system inspection via local terminal sessions.

Enables agents to create and control real pseudo-terminal sessions: run commands with exact output and exit codes, stream long-running process output, type into interactive programs, monitor session state, and terminate whole process trees.

A sandboxed terminal on your Mac for Claude chat and Cowork: shell commands, tmux sessions and file edits with no approval dialogs, inside the macOS sandbox (Seatbelt), which blocks ~/.ssh, ~/.aws, the Keychain and startup files. One stdlib Python file, no dependencies, no telemetry.

Enables executing shell commands and rendering their ANSI-colored output as styled PNG terminal screenshots with selectable themes, window chrome, watermarks, and timestamps. Useful for pentest reports, documentation, and professional terminal captures.

Multi-threaded terminal management MCP server for AI assistants, enabling async command execution, batch operations, and real-time web monitoring with up to 100 concurrent terminals.

Execute commands on remote Linux servers through Claude with an interactive web terminal showing full output while Claude receives smart-filtered summaries for token efficiency. Supports multi-server management, SFTP file transfers, batch scripts, and automation recipes.

A local MCP server that gives AI coding assistants read, write, search, and execute capabilities within a specified project directory. This Windows GUI build simplifies setup by eliminating manual Python, Node.js, or Docker installation.

Secure MCP server for controlled terminal access, enabling AI assistants to run whitelisted commands with configurable working directory, timeout, and output limits.

Local daemon that bridges AI assistants to the local filesystem with read-only commands and optional write mode, enforcing strict security filters to prevent credential leakage.

Enables AI agents to natively control the Windows desktop—navigating files, launching and managing applications, simulating keyboard and mouse input, and interacting with UI elements for tasks like QA testing. Works with any LLM without specialized vision models, exposing tools for capturing window/UI state and driving web page content through a DOM-focused mode.

Interactive, persistent terminal sessions for AI assistants via Model Context Protocol.

Provides AI agents with fully interactive terminal sessions, including TUI support, keyboard control, and screen capture across Windows, Linux, and Mac.

Enables an agent to run shell commands through a JupyterLab/JupyterHub-hosted terminal, using REST API and WebSocket via Selenium for session handling, when SSH is not available.

Enables AI agents to interact with terminal environments through multiple concurrent PTY sessions. Supports cross-platform terminal operations including command execution, session management, and real-time communication.
