Description

This server implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to let AI agents open terminals, execute commands, read output, list active terminals, and close sessions in iTerm2 on macOS. It is built in Node.js, validates inputs with Zod schemas, and runs commands in isolated terminal sessions to improve safety. The integration is suitable for MCP-compatible tools like Cursor to provide terminal automation and debugging capabilities to agents.
