shell-use

shell-use is an MCP server that allows AI agents to interact programmatically with any Unix shell environment or CLI application as a human would. It exposes tools for listing sessions, capturing terminal output, sending key or text input, scrolling terminal history, and more. Integration is designed for tmux sessions, enabling agents within platforms like Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible clients to access and control terminal-based workflows automatically. This is targeted at developers, power users, and others who want to endow AI agents with direct shell control capabilities—useful for debugging, operating system management, development automation, and live CLI tool interaction.
