What is interactive-terminal?

Configuration for an MCP server that provides interactive terminal sessions, including REPLs, remote SSH sessions, databases, and Docker environments.

Use it for interactive command-line work, SSH connections, database sessions, Docker tasks, and other terminal processes that need multiple exchanges.

It gives an agent a way to work with terminal programs that require an ongoing interactive session rather than one isolated command.

interactive-terminal — MCP server for Claude Code and Codex by amol21p

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/amol21p/mcp-interactive-terminal

Made for: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode.

Security

Grade A, and why

interactive-terminal scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
