Install via npx mcp-shell and configure with Claude Desktop. The server provides a run_command tool that accepts shell commands as input and returns their output while enforcing security restrictions.

What this MCP can be used for

This MCP enables AI assistants to safely interact with local shell environments for development, automation, and system interaction tasks while preventing dangerous operations through command blacklisting and validation.
