概要

What is MCP Bash?

MCP Bash is a Model-Context-Protocol server that allows client applications to execute arbitrary bash commands and receive stdout/stderr output. It wraps command execution in a controlled environment, supports setting and maintaining a working directory across invocations, and is designed for use with AI assistants like Claude Desktop to automate code testing and file operations.

How to use MCP Bash?

Install Python 3.10+, clone the repository, create a virtual environment, and install with pip install -e .. Start the server with python -m mcp.cli.server --module server. For Claude Desktop, add the provided JSON configuration to claude_desktop_config.json. Use the set_cwd(path) and execute_bash(cmd) functions via the MCP client API.

FAQ from MCP Bash

What can MCP Bash do?

It executes bash commands and returns both stdout and stderr. You can also change the working directory so subsequent commands run in the same context.

What are the security risks?

The server executes bash commands directly, which can be dangerous (e.g., rm -rf /). The README recommends running in a container or restricted environment, adding command validation, or limiting filesystem access.

What are the runtime requirements?

Python 3.10 or higher and pip. For Claude Desktop, the uv package manager is used in the provided configuration.

How do I configure MCP Bash for Claude Desktop?

Add the JSON snippet from the README to your Claude Desktop configuration file (claude_desktop_config.json), replacing paths with your own. Then ask Claude: "List the files in my current directory using the Bash MCP tool."
