Splashshell FAQs

Question 1

What does 'persistent session state' mean in Splashshell?

Accepted Answer

Persistent session state means that elements like the current working directory (CWD), environment variables, and shell history are maintained across AI calls and even if the MCP client restarts. This ensures a continuous and uninterrupted console experience, avoiding isolated subprocess spawns.

Question 2

What is Splashshell?

Accepted Answer

Splashshell is a universal Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides a shared, persistent console environment. It enables AI assistants and users to interact with various shell types (Bash, PowerShell, Cmd) simultaneously, ensuring real-time visibility and automatic context management.

Question 3

How does Splashshell enhance AI assistant capabilities?

Accepted Answer

It allows AI assistants to execute real commands in visible, persistent terminals, maintaining session state (current directory, environment variables, shell history) across calls. This facilitates more effective, continuous, and context-aware AI interactions and problem-solving.

Question 4

Which shell types does Splashshell support?

Accepted Answer

Splashshell supports simultaneous management of multiple shell types, including Bash, PowerShell (pwsh), and Cmd.exe. It handles transparent switching between same-shell consoles and provides warnings for cross-shell context changes.

Question 5

Can I observe the AI's commands in real-time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Splashshell runs all AI-executed commands in visible, ConPTY-backed console windows. You can see every character the AI types, just as if you typed it yourself, providing full transparency and control over the AI's actions.
