About tmux-mcp
nickgnd/tmux-mcp
A MCP server for our beloved terminal multiplexer tmux.
Exposes tmux session state and control as MCP resources and tools, enabling Claude Desktop to list sessions/windows/panes, capture terminal output, and execute commands within tmux. Implements shell-agnostic command execution with configurable shell detection (bash, fish, etc.) to properly parse exit statuses. Integrates directly with Claude Desktop via the Model Context Protocol, allowing AI assistants to observe and manipulate terminal multiplexer state programmatically.
About mcp-bash
patrickomatik/mcp-bash
A simple model context protocol (MCP) server that allows Claude Desktop or other MCP aware clients to run Bash commands on your local machine.
Maintains persistent working directory state across command executions and captures both stdout and stderr output. The server implements the MCP protocol for direct integration with Claude Desktop and other MCP-aware clients, enabling Claude to execute tests, analyze results, and iteratively fix code in a single pass. Designed for local development workflows where the security tradeoffs of unrestricted command execution are acceptable.
