mcp-shell

Secure shell server for the Model Context Protocol. Integrates with Claude Desktop.

mcp-shell is a Model Context Protocol server in the dev category. You register it with an MCP-aware client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor or any other — and it exposes its tools to the model over a single connection.

It reports roughly 160 installs a week, so it is one of the more battle-tested options here rather than an experiment.

We keep this entry in sync on a schedule, so the counts and the description track the upstream project.

How to use it

  1. Install the server with the command above (or add it to your client's MCP config).
  2. Restart or reload your MCP client so it picks up the new server.
  3. Ask the model to use one of the server's tools — it now appears in the tool list.
