An open-source MCP server that enables AI agents to interact with terminal applications and TUI/CLI tools. It provides a structured Terminal State Tree (TST) to manage sessions, allowing agents to create terminal sessions, list active ones, take snapshots, and simulate key presses or text input for automation purposes.
