mcp-bash
MCP Bash is a Model-Context-Protocol server that allows the execution of bash commands in a controlled environment. It aims to simplify command execution from client applications while highlighting potential security risks associated with such functionality. Standout features include its integration capabilities and extensibility.
MCP Bash
MCP Bash is a Model-Context-Protocol (MCP) server designed to execute bash commands. It provides functionality to run arbitrary bash commands via an MCP server interface while maintaining a working directory across command executions. Key features include a clean interface, ease of deployment, and extensibility.
Features
- Execute arbitrary bash commands
- Maintain a working directory
- Managed through a Model-Context-Protocol interface
Usage
To start the server, run the specified command, and configure Claude Desktop for integration. The server exposes two primary functions: setting the current working directory and executing bash commands, returning their stdout and stderr.
Security Considerations
This project highlights security risks of executing bash commands, recommending precautions like running in a container, adding command validation, or restricting filesystem access.
