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 instance
  • execute_command: Execute a command in a specific terminal
  • read_output: Read the output from a specific terminal
  • close_terminal: Close a specific terminal
  • list_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
