About

MCP server for AI agents to interact with terminal applications. Think Playwright for terminals.

Use this server

Add it to your MCP client. The catalogue lists this config verbatim from its source — it does not run, download, or vouch for the server. Review the command before you run it.

Transportstdio (runs a local command)
Env varsDISPLAY RUST_LOG
Claude Code 
claude mcp add --env DISPLAY= --env RUST_LOG= mcp-server-terminal -- npx mcp-server-terminal
Cursor

Add to Cursor

If the button doesn't open Cursor, use the JSON below — Cursor accepts the same mcpServers config.

VS Code 
code --add-mcp '{"name":"mcp-server-terminal","command":"npx","args":["mcp-server-terminal"],"env":{"DISPLAY":"","RUST_LOG":""}}'
JSON 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-terminal": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-server-terminal"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DISPLAY": "",
        "RUST_LOG": ""
      }
    }
  }
}

Environment variables are listed by name only — fill in your own values. Entries never carry secrets.
