terminal-mcp

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets any LLM execute commands on a local terminal or over SSH — works on Windows and macOS.

  • Run commands via native shells (cmd/powershell/bash on Windows, zsh/bash/sh on macOS)

  • Execute remote commands over SSH with key-based authentication

  • 3-level security model: safe / confirm / blocked
