Summary
The assistant can run shell commands and read back structured output.
cli-exec-raw runs one command; cli-exec runs a sequence in a working directory you name, each with a timeout. Both execute against the host shell, so the reach is whatever that shell can do.
What it is
A command-execution server: its 2 tools run a raw CLI command or a series of commands in a specified working directory, returning structured output.
What you get
- Run a single raw CLI command with a timeout (cli-exec-raw)
- Run one or more commands in a set working directory (cli-exec)
Requirements
Shell access on the machine where the server runs.
Setup effort
One command — npx -y mcp-cli-exec
