MCP Tmux runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 51 installs a week from npm. Last commit 14 Dec 2025.
Model Context Protocol server that lets LLMs collaboratively drive tmux
Today is the operative word: we check MCP Tmux every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
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:
MCP_TMUX_HOST (Optional default SSH host alias to use when none is provided.), MCP_TMUX_SESSION (Optional default tmux session name to use when none is provided.), TMUX_BIN (Optional path to tmux binary if not on PATH.), MCP_TMUX_TIMEOUT_MS (Timeout in milliseconds for tmux/ssh invocations (default 15000).), MCP_TMUX_LOG_DIR (Override log directory (defaults to ~/.config/mcp-tmux/logs).), MCP_TMUX_HOSTS_FILE (Optional JSON file for per-host tmux PATH/bin overrides.).
