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.

  const m = /^(\d+)\s*(s|m|h)$/i.exec(input.trim())

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: MY_ROLE (Label for this instance, e.g. backend or frontend. Appears in message tags so the other side knows who is talking.), REMOTE_HOST (Address of the other machine as host:port. A Tailscale address is recommended over a public one.), INTERCOM_SECRET (Shared secret authenticating messages between the two instances. Must match on both sides. There is no default: without it the intercom starts unpaired, binds no port, and refuses to send.), INTERCOM_PORT (Port to listen on for incoming messages. Defaults to 8788.), INTERCOM_HOST (Interface to bind the listener to. Defaults to 0.0.0.0. Set 127.0.0.1 when a tunnel fronts the intercom, so only the tunnel can connect.), INTERCOM_SEND_TIMEOUT_MS (How long an outbound POST may hang before giving up. Defaults to 10000.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
