Overview

What is 🚀 Tabby-MCP-Server?

A Tabby Terminal plugin that exposes your active terminal sessions through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing MCP-compatible AI clients to discover terminal tabs, execute commands, read terminal buffers, and retrieve long command output.

How to use 🚀 Tabby-MCP-Server?

Install via the Tabby Plugin Store (Settings → Plugins) or by cloning the repository and running a Docker build with make build-dist followed by the provided install script. After restarting Tabby, MCP clients connect to the SSE endpoint at http://localhost:3001/sse using configuration such as {"mcpServers":{"tabby-mcp":{"type":"sse","url":"http://localhost:3001/sse"}}}.

Key features of 🚀 Tabby-MCP-Server

  • Terminal session discovery – list local and SSH-backed Tabby tabs
  • Command execution in a selected terminal tab
  • Robust output capture with exit-code parsing
  • Terminal buffer access – read visible and history ranges
  • Long output pagination via outputId
  • Optional pair programming mode with confirmation dialogs

Use cases of 🚀 Tabby-MCP-Server

  • AI client runs shell commands in a live Tabby terminal session
  • Developer retrieves full command output for debugging or analysis
  • Read terminal buffer history without leaving the AI chat interface
  • Automate repetitive terminal workflows through an MCP-compatible assistant

Frequently asked questions

1

What are the requirements?

Tabby Terminal must be installed and running. Docker is required for local builds. The host needs an MCP-compatible client with SSE support (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex).

2

How do I install the plugin?

Use the Tabby Plugin Store (Settings → Plugins → “Tabby MCP”) or clone the repository, run `make build-dist`, and execute `bash scripts/copy_to_plugin_folder.sh`. Restart Tabby after installation.

3

What MCP clients are supported?

Any client that supports SSE MCP servers, such as Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and Codex / OpenAI Codex CLI.

4

How do I configure the server?

Configure via Tabby under Settings → Plugins → MCP. Defaults include port 3001, debug logging, and pair programming mode with confirmation dialogs and terminal auto-focus.

5

What is pair programming mode?

An optional safety layer that shows confirmation dialogs before command execution, allows rejecting commands with feedback, and tracks command history. It also supports automatic terminal focus.
