iterm-mcp and terminal-mcp
One project is an MCP server for iTerm, while the other is a minimal MCP client, making them ecosystem siblings (server and client).
About iterm-mcp
ferrislucas/iterm-mcp
A Model Context Protocol server that executes commands in the current iTerm session - useful for REPL and CLI assistance
This tool lets you connect an AI model, like Claude, directly to your iTerm2 terminal. You can give the AI a task, and it will type commands, read the output, and interact with your terminal session, helping you automate command-line tasks or get assistance with REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) environments. It's designed for users who spend a lot of time in their terminal and want an AI assistant to streamline their workflow.
About terminal-mcp
amxv/terminal-mcp
A minimal, zero-dependency terminal MCP (Model Context Protocol) client built for coding agents like OpenAI Codex.
This tool helps developers enable their AI coding agents, like OpenAI Codex, to interact with external Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools and services. It acts as a bridge, allowing agents to send simple terminal commands as input and receive formatted responses from MCP servers. Software engineers and AI developers are the primary users, allowing them to extend their agent's capabilities.
