Description

This Model Context Protocol (MCP) server exposes a single tool to execute shell commands and return their output and exit status. It is installable via pip or run directly with uv/uvx and includes configuration examples for Claude.app and Zed. It is useful for agents that need to query the filesystem, check system tools, or run ad-hoc shell commands from within an LLM environment. The README also highlights security considerations and warns that commands run directly on the host.
