Headless Terminal
0
Enables AI assistants to programmatically control and interact with terminal applications through a Model Context Protocol server.
About
The Headless Terminal (HT) Model Context Protocol (MCP) server provides a programmatic interface for AI assistants to manage and interact with HT sessions. Leveraging HT's ability to wrap any binary with a VT100-style terminal interface, this server allows AI to create new terminal sessions, send commands and special key inputs, capture real-time terminal output snapshots, and manage the lifecycle of these interactions. It's designed to automate complex command-line interface (CLI) workflows, handle interactive prompts, and debug terminal-based applications with precision.
Key Features
- Interactive Commands: Handle interactive CLI tools and multi-step processes
- Special Key Support: Send arrow keys, Ctrl combinations, Enter, and more
- Robust Error Handling: Includes session cleanup and process management
- Session Management: Create, list, and close multiple HT sessions
- Terminal Snapshots: Capture current terminal state as text output
