Ferrislucas / Itererm-MCP: A modeled context protocol server enforcing orders of current item session

A model withdrawal context controversy provides access to your item session.

Effective use of token: ITerm-MCP provides model of inspection only to output that the model is interested in seeing the last few output lines.

Natural equation: You share the model item. You can ask questions about what’s on the screen, or hand over a model task and view because it makes every step.

Full control of terminal and repling support: The model can start and interact with replars as well as sent controls of characters such as Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Z, and so on.

Easy to dependencies: ITERM-MCP is built with minor dependenties and runnables through NPX. It is designed to easily add to Claude Desktop and other MCP clients. It just got to work.

• The user is responsible for using the safety tool.
• No restrictions are built: IEMEM-MCP does not attempt to evaluate the safety of orders imposed.
• Models can work in unexpected ways. The user is expected to monitor activity and abort as appropriate.
• For many step-step tasks, you may need to eliminate the model if it goes on track. Start with small, dedicated tasks until you are familiar with how the model works.

• write_to_terminal – Write the active terminal on the item, often used to run a command. Return the number of output lines made by the command.
• read_terminal_output – Read the requested number of lines from the active item terminal.
• send_control_character – Sends a control attitude to the active item terminal.

• ITerm2 should be running
• Node version 18 or more

Because MCP servers are talking to stdio, debugging can be challenged. We recommend using the MCP Inspectorto be used as a package script:

yarn run inspector
yarn debug <command>

Inspector will provide a URL to access your browser’s debugging tools.
