Features

iterm-mcp gives the model the ability to inspect only the output that the model is interested in. The model typically only wants to see the last few lines of output even for long running commands.
You share iTerm with the model. You can ask questions about what's on the screen, or delegate a task to the model and watch as it performs each step.
The model can start and interact with REPL's as well as send control characters like ctrl-c, ctrl-z, etc.
iterm-mcp is built with minimal dependencies and is runnable via npx. It's designed to be easy to add to Claude Desktop and other MCP clients. It should just work.
