This project allows you to execute bash commands via an MCP server interface, with all the potential security risks that entails! I couldn't find anything else like this in the public domain at the time of writing, so I wrote my own. It's a boon when getting Claude Desktop to write code (it can run the tests, assess the results and fix the issues is finds in one pass.) Description MCP Bash provides a simple way to execute bash commands from client applications. It wraps command execution in a controlled environment and returns both stdout and stderr from the executed commands. Key features: - Execute arbitrary bash commands - Set and maintain a working directory across command executions - Clean interface through the Model-Context-Protocol (MCP) - Simple to deploy and extend Installation Prerequisites - Python 3.10 or higher - pip or another package manager Setup 1. Clone the repository 2. Create and activate a virtual environment 3. Install dependencies Usage Starting the server Claude Desktop Configuration To use this with Claude Desktop, add this to your configuration (usually /Users/ /Library/Application Support/Claude/claude desktop config.json, or see 'Settings - Developer' in Claude Desktop UI): Then ask Claude: \"List the files in my current directory using the Bash MCP tool\" Using the API The server exposes two main functions: 1. set cwd(path) : Set the working directory for bash comman","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/patrickomatik","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/patrickomatik/mcp-bash/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
