Term
Provides secure, auditable remote access to a system shell for executing commands and streaming output.
About
mcp2term is an implementation of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to offer safe and auditable remote access to a system shell. It streams stdout and stderr in real-time, ensuring clients observe command progress as it happens, and captures rich metadata for plugins and downstream consumers. This server supports comprehensive command execution with configurable settings, robust chunked streaming for large output volumes, and features a powerful plugin architecture for custom behaviors. It's an ideal solution for agents and automated systems needing controlled and observable shell access, complete with automatic ngrok tunneling for easy accessibility.
Key Features
- Live streaming of stdout and stderr via MCP log notifications.
- 0 GitHub stars
- Full command execution with configurable shell, working directory, and environment variables.
- Extensible plugin architecture for observing command lifecycles and injecting custom behavior.
- Automatic ngrok tunneling to make HTTP transports easily reachable.
- Robust chunked streaming to handle large output volumes without blocking.
Use Cases
- Enabling agents or automated systems to securely execute and monitor shell commands remotely.
- Integrating auditable shell command functionality into MCP-based workflows and applications.
- Providing real-time visibility into command execution and output for remote operations.
