lite iterm mcp
A Model Context Protocol server that executes commands in the current iTerm session - useful for REPL and CLI assistance
WHAT IT CONNECTS
What lite iterm mcp gives an AI Agent
- The user is responsible for using the tool safely.
- No built-in restrictions: iterm-mcp makes no attempt to evaluate the safety of commands that are executed.
- Models can behave in unexpected ways. The user is expected to monitor activity and abort when appropriate.
- For multi-step tasks, you may need to interrupt the model if it goes off track. Start with smaller, focused tasks until you're familiar with how the model behaves.
- `write_to_terminal` - Writes to the active iTerm terminal, often used to run a command. Returns the number of lines of output produced by the command.
- `read_terminal_output` - Reads the requested number of lines from the active iTerm terminal.
- `send_control_character` - Sends a control character to the active iTerm terminal.
- iTerm2 must be running
- Node version 18 or greater
SECURITY
An MCP listing is not a security review
An MCP server may receive model context, credentials, local files, or permission to call external systems. Review its code, requested environment variables, network behavior, package provenance, and maintenance status before connecting it to an agent.
