ITerm MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for iTerm2 terminal integration. This server allows AI assistants to interact with iTerm2 terminals through the Model Context Protocol.
Features
- Create and manage iTerm2 terminal sessions
- Execute commands in terminals
- Read terminal output
- List active terminals
- Close terminals
Requirements
- Node.js >= 14.x
- iTerm2
- macOS (since iTerm2 is macOS-only)
Configuration
Standard Configuration
The server uses the standard MCP configuration options. No additional configuration is required.
Cursor Configuration
To use this server with Cursor, add the following configuration to your ~/.cursor/mcp.json file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"terminal": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["iterm_mcp_server"]
}
}
}
Tools
open_terminal: Open a new terminal instanceexecute_command: Execute a command in a specific terminalread_output: Read the output from a specific terminalclose_terminal: Close a specific terminallist_terminals: List all active terminals and their information
Security Considerations
- The server validates all input using Zod schemas
- Commands are executed in isolated terminal sessions
- Proper error handling and input sanitization is implemented
