Terminal tools (3)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

  • session_close

    Terminate a session gracefully. Sends EOF, then SIGHUP, then SIGKILL.

  • session_list

    List all active terminal sessions with their status and idle time.

  • session_resize

    Resize the terminal window of an active session. Sends SIGWINCH to the process.

What the publisher says

From the Terminal repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

<!-- mcp-name: io.github.mkpvishnu/terminal-mcp -->

Give your AI a real terminal. Persistent sessions. Interactive programs. Zero limitations.

The Problem

Every AI coding tool hits the same wall: no real terminal access.

Claude Code's Bash tool, GitHub Copilot, and Codex all run commands in isolated subprocesses. Each command starts fresh. No state carries over. That means:

  • No SSH sessions - Can't connect to a remote server and run multiple commands
  • No REPLs - Can't use Python, Node, or Ruby interpreters interactively
  • No database CLIs - Can't maintain a psql, mysql, or redis-cli connection
  • No TUI apps - Can't navigate htop, vim, or fzf with arrow keys
  • No long-running processes - Can't monitor builds, watch logs, or run dev servers

The Solution

terminal-mcp gives AI agents a real terminal. Persistent PTY sessions that survive across tool calls. Send commands, read output, press keys, navigate TUIs - exactly like a human at a terminal.

uvx terminal-mcp

One command. Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Quick Start

1. Install (30 seconds)

# No install needed - run directly
uvx terminal-mcp

# Or install globally
pip install terminal-mcp

2. Connect to Your AI Client

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "terminal": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["terminal-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add to claudedesktopconfig.json:

{
