tmux-mcp

Gives Claude full programmatic access to your tmux sessions through standard stdio transport. You get 15 tools covering the full lifecycle: list sessions/windows/panes, capture up to 5,000 lines of scrollback from any pane, send shell commands or raw key sequences like Ctrl-C, and manage session layout with splits and renames. The standout feature is TMUX_MCP_ALWAYS_USE mode, which routes every shell command the agent runs through a named tmux session instead of direct bash execution, so you watch everything happen live in your terminal. Useful when you want full visibility into what an autonomous agent is doing on your machine, or when you need Claude to interact with long-running processes, read compiler output, or recover from stuck commands. Security warning applies: captured pane output can leak credentials.
