What is Hyper Mcp Terminal?

Hyper Mcp Terminal is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides terminal access, enabling AI assistants to execute shell commands and interact with the command line. It runs on any platform that supports Node.js and uses the node-pty library for pseudo-terminal functionality.

How to use Hyper Mcp Terminal?

Run the server with npx -y hyper-mcp-terminal. Configure optional environment variables: Terminal_End_CheckCount (default 15, checks every 100ms for output stability), Terminal_Output_MaxToken (default 10000, maximum output tokens sent to the LLM), and Terminal_Timeout (default 5 minutes, idle timeout). It is typically configured in an MCP client like HyperChat.
