Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

claude mcp add interactive-terminal -- npx -y mcp-interactive-terminal

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: MCP_TERMINAL_MAX_SESSIONS (Maximum concurrent sessions), MCP_TERMINAL_SANDBOX (Enable OS-level kernel sandboxing), MCP_TERMINAL_REDACT_SECRETS (Redact AWS keys, tokens, private keys in output). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
