Unterm MCP Server

local only

Unterm runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. Last commit 1 Nov 2026.

The terminal AI agents can drive: spawn panes, run commands, read screens, scrolling screenshots.

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.

Checks whether it runs in a sandbox deps/freetype/freetype2/builds/windows/ftdebug.c:141
    if ( IsDebuggerPresent() )
Executes code built at runtime deps/freetype/freetype2/src/tools/glnames.py:5349
        dictionary.add(agl_glyphs[g], eval("0x" + agl_values[g]))
            if let Ok(rc) = std::fs::read_to_string(home.join(".npmrc")) {

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.

Unterm — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Unterm?
Unterm runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone.
Is Unterm open source?
We cannot say either way: written in Rust, 15 stars on GitHub and 8 open issues, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
