Prerequisites

  • Node.js
  • tmux installed and running

Usage

Configure Claude Desktop

Add this MCP server to your Claude Desktop configuration:

"mcpServers": {
  "tmux": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "tmux-mcp"]
  }
}

MCP server options

You can optionally specify the command line shell you are using, if unspecified it defaults to bash

"mcpServers": {
  "tmux": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "tmux-mcp", "--shell-type=fish"]
  }
}

The MCP server needs to know the shell only when executing commands, to properly read its exit status.
