iterm-mcp A Model Context Protocol server that provides access to your iTerm session. Features Efficient Token Use: iterm-mcp gives the model the ability to inspect only the output that the model is interested in. The model typically only wants to see the last few lines of output even for long running commands. Natural Integration: You share iTerm with the model. You can ask questions about what's on the screen, or delegate a task to the model and watch as it performs each step. Full Terminal Control and REPL support: The model can start and interact with REPL's as well as send control characters like ctrl-c, ctrl-z, etc. Easy on the Dependencies: iterm-mcp is built with minimal dependencies and is runnable via npx. It's designed to be easy to add to Claude Desktop and other MCP clients. It should just work. Safety Considerations The user is responsible for using the tool safely. No built-in restrictions: iterm-mcp makes no attempt to evaluate the safety of commands that are executed. Models can behave in unexpected ways. The user is expected to monitor activity and abort when appropriate. For multi-step tasks, you may need to interrupt the model if it goes off track.

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.
The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
