Shell

Acerca de

Shell offers a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables secure execution of shell commands. It features advanced command whitelisting, optional user confirmation, and robust security controls, making it ideal for developers and AI agents requiring a safe and flexible way to interact with the shell across various transports like stdio, SSE, and streamable HTTP. It also prevents hanging processes with timeout protection and provides context-aware error messages for better agent guidance.
