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.

Runs an external command src/command-runner.js:44, [пакет] src/command-runner.js:44, src/pty-session.js:130 и ещё 1

    const child = spawn(spawnPlan.command, spawnPlan.args, {

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

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Smart Terminal — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Smart Terminal?

Smart Terminal 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 npm package smart-terminal-mcp was installed 153 times last week.

How do I connect Smart Terminal?

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 smart-terminal-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Smart Terminal?

The npm package smart-terminal-mcp was installed 153 times in the last week. Week over week that is -55%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Smart Terminal open source?

We cannot say either way: written in JavaScript and 12 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
