An MCP server capable of executing any terminal command securely and efficiently.
The MCP Shell Server is a project developed as part of a Udemy course, focusing on building a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows the execution of arbitrary shell commands from connected clients. This server acts as a secure and flexible interface between language models and the operating system, providing shell access. It is designed to support dynamic command execution across multiple platforms, including Linux, macOS, and Windows, and offers features like command restrictions, output length limits, and execution timeouts to ensure secure operations. The server is also equipped to expose system-level information, making it a valuable tool for integrating with larger AI systems or MCP clients.
Features
- Shell Command Execution: Supports dynamic execution of any shell command via a structured MCP interface.
- Cross-Platform Support: Compatible with Linux, macOS, and Windows (via CMD or PowerShell).
- Resource Exposure: Provides useful system-level information such as platform, hostname, shell path, and environment details.
- Secure Execution: Implements safeguards like command restrictions, output length limits, and execution timeouts.
- Easy Integration: Designed to be easily embedded in larger AI agent systems or connected with popular MCP clients.
