About mcp-bash
patrickomatik/mcp-bash
A simple model context protocol (MCP) server that allows Claude Desktop or other MCP aware clients to run Bash commands on your local machine.
This tool helps developers who use AI coding assistants like Claude Desktop by allowing the AI to directly run Bash commands on their local machine. Developers can feed the AI coding instructions, and the AI will execute commands, such as running tests or inspecting file systems. The output consists of the command's results (standard output and errors), enabling the AI to autonomously assess code and make corrections.
