Shell
Enables AI assistants to execute shell commands securely and auditably through the Model Context Protocol.
About
Shell acts as a command-line actuator for AI systems, bridging the gap between language models and the real world by allowing them to execute shell commands. Built on the MCP protocol, it provides a secure and auditable way for AI assistants to interact with the underlying system. It offers features like command whitelisting/blacklisting, resource limits, audit logging, and Docker-based isolation, making it a robust solution for integrating AI with shell environments.
Key Features
- Docker-ready for lightweight and secure isolation
- Audit logging for complete command execution tracking
- Configurable command allowlists and blocklists for enhanced security
- Resource limits to constrain memory and CPU usage
- 4 GitHub stars
- Structured JSON output with stdout, stderr, exit codes, and metadata
Use Cases
- Automating shell-based workflows through AI-driven commands
- Creating tool-assisted reasoning systems that interact with the operating system
- Enabling AI assistants to perform system administration tasks
