Description

This repository provides step-by-step Windows setup instructions to run a terminal server that speaks the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It shows how to install the uv tool, initialize a Python project, create and activate a virtual environment, install mcp[cli], and configure Claude for Desktop to launch the server. The server enables agents to execute shell commands in a controlled workspace and integrate local tooling with Claude. The guide is focused on Windows and includes explicit PowerShell commands and Claude configuration snippets.
