Command Executor MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that executes shell commands and handles large outputs with pagination.
Features
-
execute_command: Executes shell commands and captures output
- Returns full output directly if under 10,000 estimated tokens
- For larger outputs, stores them and returns an ID for pagination
- Supports custom working directory and timeout
-
get_output_page: Retrieves paginated output for large command results
- Pages contain approximately 3,000 lines each
- Provides navigation info (current page, total pages, has next/previous)
Installation
pip install -r requirements.txt
Configuration
Add to your Claude Desktop configuration (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"command-executor": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["/path/to/command_executor_mcp.py"]
}
}
}
Usage Examples
Execute a simple command:
execute_command({"command": "ls -la"})
Execute with custom directory and timeout:
execute_command({
"command": "find . -name '*.py'",
"working_directory": "/Users/username/projects",
"timeout": 60
})
Retrieve paginated output:
get_output_page({
"output_id": "uuid-returned-from-execute",
"page": 1
})
Token Estimation
The server estimates tokens at approximately 0.25 tokens per character. Outputs exceeding 10,000 estimated tokens are automatically paginated.
