Tmux MCP Server exposes tmux sessions, windows, panes, and command results through the Model Context Protocol. An agent can read terminal content, navigate panes, create sessions, split windows, and run commands from Claude Desktop.
Builders who want Claude Desktop to inspect and control tmux sessions.
You can let an agent work with your live terminal sessions instead of copying output back and forth.
Shows active tmux sessions and lets you search for one by name.
Lists windows and panes, and captures pane content for the agent to read.
Creates sessions and windows, and splits panes horizontally or vertically with optional sizes.
Executes commands in a pane and exposes the result through an MCP resource.
Kills sessions, windows, and panes by ID.
Model Context Protocol server that enables Claude Desktop to interact with and view tmux session content. This integration allows AI assistants to read from, control, and observe your terminal sessions.

Add this MCP server to your Claude Desktop configuration:
"mcpServers": {
"tmux": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "tmux-mcp"]
}
}
You can optionally specify the command line shell you are using, if unspecified it defaults to bash
"mcpServers": {
"tmux": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "tmux-mcp", "--shell-type=fish"]
}
}
The MCP server needs to know the shell only when executing commands, to properly read its exit status.

High-performance code intelligence MCP server. Indexes codebases into a persistent knowledge graph — average repo in milliseconds. 158 languages, sub-ms queries, 99% fewer tokens. Single static binary, zero dependencies.
Universal provider proxy for OpenAI Codex & Claude Code — use any LLM (Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Ollama…) with Codex CLI, App, SDK, and Claude Code
Git-native persistent memory for AI coding agents. Implements Google OKF v0.2 with sub-300µs in-memory BM25 search, embedded MCP server, and progressive disclosure. Slashes token bloat by 80% with zero external databases or dependencies. Built in pure Go.
Local-first code intelligence graph for MCP and CLI. Builds a persistent map of your codebase so AI coding tools read only what matters, with benchmarked context reductions on reviews and large-repo workflows.
Stop your AI from making things up — it proposes, deterministic tools decide, every claim checked against ground truth with evidence. Grounded facts and context survive resets. Reverse engineering is the proving ground. MCP server + CLI.
