MCP CLI Executor

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Run arbitrary shell commands and capture structured stdout, stderr, exit codes, and timing for logging or decision-making.

• 2

  Execute sequences of build/test/install commands in a specific working directory and halt on the first failure to maintain CI-like behavior.

• 3

  Safe command execution from integrations (VSCode/Claude) with timeout handling, ANSI-stripped output, and consistent error payloads.

Description

This MCP server provides tools to execute shell commands with structured output and robust error handling. It includes cli-exec-raw for single raw command execution and cli-exec for running one or more commands in a specified working directory, with timeouts, ANSI-stripped output, and execution metadata. Built with TypeScript and execa, it supports Windows and Unix-like systems and stops execution on the first command failure to preserve predictable workflows.
