Other AI CLIs (Gemini, GPT, Claude, opencode, Ollama) as a council — ban-safe, no API keys.

What the code does

A tool parameter reaches a dangerous call

A value the model can set ends up inside a file or shell call. That is not a flaw by itself — for a terminal server it is the job — but it is where things go wrong when it is not.

Capabilities

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.

        path = os.path.join(config.OVERFLOW_DIR, f"{job_id}.txt")
    base_env = config.strip_nesting(dict(os.environ)) if config.strip_nesting_env() else os.environ

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

That is not a flaw by itself — but it is where things go wrong when it is not the job. We re-read this code on every release. Watch it and you hear from us the day another one appears.

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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add cli-bridge-mcp -- uvx cli-bridge-mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cli-bridge-mcp": {

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: CLI_BRIDGE_PROFILE (Cost profile: saver (free-only fan-out, include_paid refused) | balanced (paid only with include_paid) | max (limited/paid join fan-out).), CLI_BRIDGE_TERSE (Response-style preamble level: off | lite (default) | full | ultra.), CLI_BRIDGE_CACHE_TTL_S (Response cache TTL in seconds. 0 = off (default).). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

CLI Bridge MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for CLI Bridge MCP?
CLI Bridge MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package cli-bridge-mcp was installed 133 times last week.
How do I connect CLI Bridge MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls cli-bridge-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use CLI Bridge MCP?
The pypi package cli-bridge-mcp was installed 133 times in the last week. Week over week that is -34%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is CLI Bridge MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Python and 2 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
