oetiker/MCPretentious
A powerful Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that puppeteers iTerm2 terminals.
Supports both iTerm2 (via WebSocket/Protobuf with 20x AppleScript performance) and tmux (cross-platform via direct commands), enabling persistent background terminal control without focus stealing. Provides comprehensive tool set for screen reading with token-optimized screenshots (85-98% reduction), mouse input via SGR protocol, and keyboard simulation including extensive Alt key combinations. Targets AI-driven TUI testing and remote server management over SSH with real terminal session access and full RGB color support on iTerm2.
Available on npm.
