MCP Terminal Tool Server
This is a simple MCP server built with the MCP Python SDK. It exposes a single tool called terminal_tool that allows users to run terminal commands and returns their output.
Requirements
- Python 3.8+
- MCP Python SDK (
pip install mcp-sdk)
Running the Server
python server.py
Exposed Tool
terminal_tool
- Description: Run a terminal command and return its output as a string.
- Arguments:
command(str): The terminal command to execute.
- Returns:
- Output of the command as a string (stdout or stderr).

MCP Inspector & Claude Configuration
To connect this server to the MCP Inspector, Claude (Anthropic), or other MCP-compatible clients, use a configuration like the following:
{
"mcpServers": {
"terminal_tool": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"/path/to/your/project",
"run",
"server.py"
]
}
}
}
- Replace
/path/to/your/projectwith the absolute path to your project directory. - This configuration will launch the server using
uvand connect via stdio transport (default). - Claude (Anthropic) users: You can add this configuration to your Claude MCP settings to enable tool use with your local server.
- For HTTP transport, start the server manually with
python server.py(oruv run server.py) and connect to the appropriate URL in the Inspector.
