MCP Exec Server

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Run arbitrary project CLI commands (tests, build, or custom scripts) in a specific repository directory.

• 2

  Start, stop, or interact with local development servers or tooling by executing shell commands.

• 3

  Integrate with Claude for Desktop (or similar clients) to execute host-side automation tasks via MCP.

Description

This repository provides an MCP server for executing local command-line tools and scripts via the MCP protocol. The README shows how to set up a Python virtual environment, install the required 'uv' tooling and 'mcp[cli]' package, and register the server (example provided for Claude for Desktop). It is useful for automating local dev tasks, running project-specific commands in a specified directory, and integrating agent workflows with local CLI utilities. Note: running CLI commands from remote agents has security implications and should be restricted appropriately.
