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 channel.py:162

                    self._proc = subprocess.Popen(

Touches key and credential files mcp_server.py:53

    key_filepath: Annotated[Optional[str], Field(description="Absolute path to a private key file (e.g. '/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa')")] = None,

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.

Interminal — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Interminal?

Interminal 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 mcp-interminal was installed 90 times last week.

How do I connect Interminal?

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 mcp-interminal straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Interminal?

The pypi package mcp-interminal was installed 90 times in the last week. Week over week that is -32%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Interminal open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 3 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.
