概要

What is Linux Command MCP?

Linux Command MCP is a remote command execution system built using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing secure and standardized execution of Linux commands. It is designed for users who want to issue Linux commands through an MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop.

How to use Linux Command MCP?

Install Node.js v18+, npm, and PM2. Clone the repository, then install and build both server and client. Configure the server in claude_desktop_config.json with an absolute path to the built index.js. Start the server with PM2 via npm run pm2:start. Use the client by running npm start and then issuing commands like exec "ls -l" or list /home. The server also supports an optional stdin parameter for interactive scripts.

Key features of Linux Command MCP

Supports interactive scripts with stdin input
No sudo execution requiring password prompts
PM2 process management for server reliability
Client commands: exec, list, help, exit
Uses absolute paths in configuration

Use cases of Linux Command MCP

Check system information (kernel version, uptime)
List directory contents and navigate files
View disk usage and memory information
Run automated interactive scripts (e.g., Python games or setup wizards)
Inspect network interfaces without sensitive data

FAQ from Linux Command MCP

Can Linux Command MCP run sudo commands?

No. The server still cannot execute sudo commands that require password prompts. For sudo commands, either execute them manually with proper permissions or configure passwordless sudo for specific commands.

What are the prerequisites for Linux Command MCP?

Node.js v18.x or later, npm, and PM2 for process management are required.

How do I configure Linux Command MCP for Claude Desktop?

Add a server entry to claude_desktop_config.json with "command": "node" and "args": ["/full/path/to/linux-command-mcp/server/dist/index.js"]. Always use absolute paths.

How do I use the stdin parameter for interactive scripts?

Pass a stdin string in the call tool arguments, using \n for newlines. The input is sent line-by-line before script execution, and all output is captured.

What security considerations are there?

Run the server only on trusted networks, limit access to the server, and be cautious with command execution. Avoid commands that reveal sensitive information, modify system settings, or require sudo/root permissions.
