🚀 Getting Started
1. Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/your-username/terminal.mcp.git
cd terminal.mcp2. Run the MCP server
go run main.goThis starts the MCP server over stdio, waiting for clients (like ChatGPT, Claude, or custom clients) to connect.
🛠️ Tool: run
{
"command": "ls -la"
}The server executes the command and returns the output. Supports safe execution via schema-validated tools.
🧪 Test with MCP Inspector
Use MCP Inspector:
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector -- go run main.goThen open http://localhost:6274 and test the run tool interactively.
☁️ Deploy on Cloud (optional)
You can run this server on any VPS, container, or cloud function. Just expose stdin/stdout or use a TCP transport (WIP).
📦 Built With
🔐 Security Notice
This server executes terminal commands. Use only with authenticated and trusted clients. Avoid deploying it publicly without a secure transport + auth layer.
