Shell History FAQs

Question 1

How does Shell History integrate with AI assistants?

Accepted Answer

It exposes your ZSH shell history via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing AI agents to access and query your commands using a structured function call, specifically the 'shell_history' function.

Question 2

What is Shell History?

Accepted Answer

Shell History is a tool that connects your ZSH shell history with AI assistants using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It enables AI agents to query your past commands, facilitating intelligent interactions with your terminal activity.

Question 3

What are the technical requirements to get started with Shell History?

Accepted Answer

You'll need ZSH, a Go environment to build the server, and a compatible MCP client like Cherry Studio configured with an AI provider (e.g., Scaleway AI) that supports function calls.

Question 4

Is Shell History intended for production use?

Accepted Answer

No, this project is for discovery and demo purposes only. There is no active development planned, and it represents a very high confidentiality and security risk as it exposes your entire shell history. It is strictly for personal use.

Question 5

What are the primary benefits of using Shell History?

Accepted Answer

The main benefit is enabling AI assistants to understand and leverage your past shell interactions. This can enhance productivity by allowing AI to answer questions like 'Which scripts am I using?' based on your command history.
