What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

    async def exec(self, request: ExecRequest) -> ExecResult:

    return subprocess.run(

        use_shell = True

    return posixpath.normpath(posixpath.join(workspace_directory, value))

      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock

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.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: BACKEND (Computer provider. Use docker for a local container or fly for a permanent Fly Machine.), COMPUTER_ID (Stable identity of the one persistent computer.), DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT (Start the real Xfce desktop instead of the virtual desktop.), NETWORK_ACCESS (Allow outbound network access from the computer.), AUTO_INSTALL_DOCKER (On Windows, install and start Docker Desktop lazily when needed.), AUTO_INSTALL_FLYCTL (Download flyctl into the user profile when it is missing.), FLY_API_TOKEN (Optional Fly API token. A cached flyctl login is also supported.), EXPOSE_LIFECYCLE_TOOLS (Also expose runtime status and network/desktop switching tools to the model. The MCP App can always use them.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
