Run commands, capture output and otherwise interact with shells and command line tools.
21 of 21 shown
bvisible/mcp-ssh-manager
github.comManage multiple SSH servers from one MCP: command execution, file transfer/rsync, database dump/import/query (MySQL/PostgreSQL/MongoDB), backups & restore, health monitoring, persistent sessions, tunnels, ProxyJump/bastion, and opt-in per-server security modes (readonly/restricted) with audit log. Linux, macOS & Windows OpenSSH.
capsulerun/bash
github.comSandboxed bash for agents. Run untrusted commands in WebAssembly sandboxes with no setup required.
cygnussystems/cygnus-ssh-mcp
github.comMCP server for SSH-based control of remote Linux, macOS, and Windows servers with 46 purpose-built tools instead of one generic command-runner: line-level file editing (no download/edit/upload round-trip), background task launch/monitor/kill, real sudo support, host aliases, recursive directory ops, archive create/extract, and full Unicode via SFTP (avoids PowerShell OEM code page corruption on Windows targets). pip install cygnus-ssh-mcp or uvx cygnus-ssh-mcp.
danmartuszewski/hop
github.comFast SSH connection manager with TUI dashboard and MCP server for discovering, searching, and executing commands on remote hosts.
faizbawa/mcp-remote-ssh
github.comFull SSH access for AI agents with secret-safe environment injection and automatic output redaction. Persistent sessions, structured execution, SFTP, port forwarding — secrets are fed via stdin (invisible to ps) and scrubbed from all tool responses before reaching the LLM. uvx mcp-remote-ssh
gerard-kanters/mcp-linux-tools
github.comAdminister a Linux server from an MCP client such as Cursor or VS Code: read files and tail logs, check/reload/restart systemd services, manage cron jobs inside a dedicated crontab section, run read-only MySQL queries, drive WP-CLI on WordPress sites, run safe Git commands, and execute sandboxed Python. Directories, services and WordPress sites are allowlisted in config.json, and every tool returns a uniform {success, data, error, meta} response. Runs as a systemd service over HTTP.
lacs-project/sysknife
github.comSecurity-hardened MCP server for Linux system administration via 189 typed actions instead of shell strings, with an Ed25519-signed hash-chain audit log, one-time TTL approval receipts, and automatic rollback. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex CLI.
luisgf/infrabroker
github.comSSH & Kubernetes access broker where the model never touches a credential: a separate signer mints per-operation ephemeral SSH certificates and bound ServiceAccount tokens, with a per-command allow/deny/approval firewall (POSIX-sh AST), dry-run, human-in-the-loop approvals, session recording and an Ed25519-chained audit log. Self-hosted Go binaries, GPLv3.
nvms/tui-mcp
github.comWhat Chrome DevTools MCP is for the browser, tui-mcp is for the terminal. Launch, screenshot, and interact with any TUI app.
PsYcGoD/sage
github.comLocal-first CLI and MCP wrapper for AI coding agents. Routes shell commands through sage run --, stores command history locally, and returns compressed terminal output to reduce context noise.
raychao-oao/pty-mcp
github.comInteractive PTY sessions for AI agents — local shells, SSH with persistent sessions (ai-tmux daemon for attach/detach), and serial ports. Single Go binary, no tmux dependency.
soren-achebe/backscroll
github.comAnswers "what did that command print?" from your real terminal history: a per-command PTY session recorder (OSC 133) stores every command's full output, exit code, cwd, and duration in local SQLite/FTS5, and the MCP server searches, retrieves, and diffs those outputs — secret redaction on by default before anything reaches the model.
ferodrigop/forge
github.comTerminal MCP server for AI coding agents with persistent PTY sessions, ring-buffer incremental reads, headless xterm screen capture, multi-agent orchestration, and a real-time web dashboard.
WhenLabs-org/when
github.comDeveloper toolkit: auto-detect stack for AI context files, catch port conflicts, validate .env schemas, spot docs drift, audit dependency licenses, and time coding tasks — 7 MCP tools, one install.
LukeLamb/claude-terminal-mcp
github.comTerminal, filesystem, and background-job tools for Claude Desktop on Linux/macOS. Zero npm deps, pure Node.
HasanJahidul/terminal-history-mcp
github.comFull-text search over your shell history (zsh / bash / fish) via SQLite FTS5. Local-only. 11-pattern secret redaction runs BEFORE insert. Captures cwd / exit code / duration via opt-in shell hook. Tools: search_history, recent_in_dir, failed_commands, command_chains, reindex.
HasanJahidul/localhost-mcp
github.comInspect, manage, and kill local dev servers. Lists what's listening on each port (pid, framework, project, uptime, memory, cpu), diagnoses port conflicts with free alternatives nearby, finds zombie processes, and kills by pid or port with a dry-run default.
laszlopere/mcp-tmux
github.comUniversal tmux driver: sessions, windows, panes, keystrokes, and pane capture — local or remote over SSH. Curated tools plus a raw tmux_command passthrough; works against tmux 1.8+. Shared, visible sessions for pair-programming with the agent. uvx mcp-tmux.
zb-ss/servonaut
github.comManage AWS EC2, Hetzner, OVH and custom SSH servers: run commands, fetch logs, CloudWatch/CloudTrail queries, fleet health snapshots, IP banning, S3 — with readonly/standard/dangerous guard tiers and a JSONL audit trail.
blinkingbit-oss/execkit
github.comStateful, structured, auditable shell sessions for AI agents over local, SSH, and Docker. Secret redaction, output budgeting, SSH host-key verification, and a loopback read-only browser viewer that streams the live transcript.
Easton-OU/rootpilot-mcp
github.comSafe, read-only SSH diagnostics for Linux/Docker servers: a fixed 38-command whitelist (no arbitrary execution), secret redaction, per-command timeouts. Collects evidence; your model does the reasoning. npx @rootpilot/mcp-ssh-diagnose
