# PiloTY

PiloTY (PTY for your AI Copilot) is an MCP server that gives an agent a persistent, interactive terminal.

If you have used Claude Code / Codex to run shell commands, you have probably hit the same wall: tool calls tend to be stateless. Each call starts "fresh", so environment variables disappear, interactive programs cannot be driven reliably, and long-running processes get cut off or orphaned while the agent is thinking.

PiloTY exists to make the agent's terminal behave more like a human's: start something in a real terminal, come back later, and keep going.

Warning: PiloTY exposes unrestricted terminal access. Treat it like giving the agent your keyboard.

## What it enables

- Long-running commands: builds, installs, migrations, test suites. Start once, check output later.
- Log monitoring: `tail -f`, `journalctl -f`, `kubectl logs -f`, CI logs, service restarts.
- "Vibe debugging": keep a REPL/debugger open while the agent reads code and tries ideas (`python`, `ipython`, `pdb`).
- Privileged operations: handle interactive password prompts (`sudo`, SSH passwords, key passphrases).
- SSH-based devops: keep a remote login session alive across tool calls; run remote commands in the same shell.
- Terminal UIs: `less`, `man`, `top`, `vim` can work, but cursor-heavy programs often require screen snapshots instead of plain text output.

## Quickstart

PiloTY is meant to be launched by an MCP client over stdio.

Add it to Codex CLI as an MCP server:

```bash
codex mcp add piloty -- uvx --from git+https://github.com/yiwenlu66/PiloTY.git piloty
```

If you prefer SSH-based Git fetch:

```bash
codex mcp add piloty -- uvx --from git+ssh://git@github.com/yiwenlu66/PiloTY.git piloty
```

If you already have a local clone:

```bash
codex mcp add piloty -- uv --directory /path/to/PiloTY run piloty
```

Run the server command directly (without adding it to an MCP client):

```bash…
