Bash

Executes bash commands on the host machine via a Model Context Protocol server, returning stdout, stderr, and exit codes.

About

Bash is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to empower applications, particularly AI agents, with the ability to execute arbitrary bash commands directly on the host machine. It provides a robust interface for running system commands, offering configurable options like specifying a working directory and setting a command timeout. Upon execution, the server returns comprehensive results including the standard output, standard error, and the exit code, making it an essential component for automating system-level interactions and extending the capabilities of intelligent agents.
