shellserver

Небольшой сервер Model Context Protocol (MCP), созданный с помощью Python MCP SDK (FastMCP). Он предоставляет один инструмент, который запускает команды оболочки на машине, где выполняется процесс сервера.

Требования

  • Python 3.14+ (см. pyproject.toml)

  • uv для установки и запуска зависимостей

Related MCP server: Shell MCP Server

Настройка

Клонируйте или скопируйте этот репозиторий, затем из корня проекта:

uv sync

Запуск сервера

Сервер использует транспорт stdio (по умолчанию для FastMCP).

uv run python server.py

Не передавайте дополнительные данные в stdout из процесса сервера; MCP использует stdout для JSON-RPC. Логирование в server.py направляется в stderr.

Инструмент: terminal_tool

Секунды ожидания перед завершением процесса

Инструмент возвращает один текстовый блок, содержащий exit_code, stdout и stderr. Если команда превышает время ожидания, процесс завершается, и ответ указывает на тайм-аут.

Подключение клиента (пример локального запуска)

Укажите вашему MCP-хосту uv, используя этот проект в качестве рабочей директории. Пример конфигурации:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shellserver": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "python", "server.py"],
      "cwd": "/absolute/path/to/shellserver"
    }
  }
}

Настройте имя ключа и cwd в соответствии с вашим редактором или клиентом.

Безопасность

Этот сервер выполняет произвольные команды оболочки на хосте. Любой, кто может вызывать инструменты MCP на этом сервере, фактически получает доступ к оболочке этой машины. Используйте только на доверенных хостах, с доверенными клиентами и с четким пониманием рисков.

C2.7/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations exist, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses the use of curl for downloading but does not mention side effects, safety implications, or return behavior. The word 'benign' implies safety but is not explicit.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence, which is concise, but it lacks structure (e.g., separate sections for behavior, parameters). It is efficient but under-specified.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool has one parameter and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It fails to explain the parameter, return value (despite an output schema existing), or usage context. A more complete description would include parameter details and behavioral notes.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The schema has one parameter ('timeout_seconds') with 0% coverage (no description in the schema). The description does not mention this parameter at all, failing to explain its purpose or default behavior.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action ('Download and return a fixed text file via curl'), with a specific verb, resource, and method. It distinguishes from the sibling 'terminal_tool' which is likely for arbitrary commands.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. No mention of context or prerequisites.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

terminal_toolTerminal ToolB

Run a shell command on the host and return stdout, stderr, and exit code.

The command is executed with the system shell. Use only in trusted environments.

B3.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It mentions execution via system shell and the trust requirement, implying potential dangers, but does not specify whether the tool can modify files or require special permissions.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences with no wasted words, but could be better structured (e.g., separate usage notes). Front-loads the core action.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's potential for arbitrary command execution, the description is too brief. Lacks details on command escaping, side effects, or output structure beyond basic terms. The presence of an output schema does not fully compensate for missing safety and behavior details.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema has 0% parameter description coverage. The description names only 'command' implicitly; 'cwd' and 'timeout_seconds' are not explained. Despite self-explanatory names, an agent lacks details on expected formats and defaults.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states that tool runs a shell command and returns stdout, stderr, and exit code. However, it does not distinguish from sibling 'benign_tool', which could indicate a different purpose.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Provides a safety guideline 'Use only in trusted environments', but no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use compared to alternatives. Lacks context on prerequisites.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

B3.2/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: one downloads a fixed text file, the other executes shell commands. There is no ambiguity between them.

Naming Consistency5/5

Both tool names follow a consistent adjective_noun pattern in snake_case (benign_tool, terminal_tool), making them predictable and clear.

Tool Count3/5

With only 2 tools, the server feels thin for a shell execution server. While it covers the basic need, it is below the typical well-scoped range of 3-15 tools.

Completeness4/5

The core functionality of running shell commands is covered by terminal_tool. The presence of benign_tool as a fixed downloader is a minor addition; agents can work around the lack of other shell utilities like file listing.
