Ag Bash runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 68 installs a week from npm. Last commit 28 Oct 2026.
Sandboxed AI-native bash with 70 agentic tools: run_bash, code edit/diff, WASM Python/JS.
What the code does

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.
exec(commandLine: string, options?: ExecOptions): Promise<BashExecResult>;
system(cmd);
const fullPath = path.join(testDir, filePath);

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.
