Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Remote Terminal MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

run in your terminal

claude mcp add remote-terminal -- uvx remote-terminal-mcp

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

command = "uvx"
args = ["remote-terminal-mcp"]

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: REMOTE_TERMINAL_ROOT (Root directory for config files and database). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Remote Terminal MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Remote Terminal MCP?

Remote Terminal MCP 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 remote-terminal-mcp was installed 116 times last week.

How do I connect Remote Terminal MCP?

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

How many people use Remote Terminal MCP?

The pypi package remote-terminal-mcp was installed 116 times in the last week. Week over week that is -25%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
