What it does

Provides AI agents with structured, reliable control over tmux. Instead of fragile screen scraping, agents can create isolated sessions, split panes, execute commands with attributable output, and manage complex terminal layouts on local or remote SSH hosts.

Tools

create-session/kill-session: Manage tmux session lifecycles.
split-pane/join-pane: Orchestrate complex terminal layouts for parallel tasks.
execute-command/get-command-result: Run shell commands and retrieve stable, structured results.
capture-pane: Read the current state or logs of a terminal pane.
search-buffer/show-buffer: Explore large text buffers incrementally using a probe-and-refine workflow.
send-keys: Drive interactive CLI prompts and TUIs.
