The native MCP server for Unix PTY control gives AI models authentic, low-latency terminal access by spawning true pseudo-terminals—not brittle AppleScript hacks—so you can open persistent Bash, Python, or SSH sessions, run commands like “ssh prod.server,” and stream only fresh output thanks to smart buffering. Built on Tokio for fully asynchronous, non-blocking I/O, the service supports multi-session workflows, letting developers switch between concurrent prod-debug shells without interruption while JSON-RPC endpoints such as tools/call create_session handle lifecycle automation. This combination of real PTYs, session persistence, and high-performance async design makes the MCP server an ideal foundation for DevOps automation, cloud debugging, and AI-driven terminal orchestration.
