# MCP tmux Terminal Server

An MCP server that provides interactive tmux terminal sessions for Claude Code. Run background tasks in tmux sessions that you can attach to and interact with directly.

## Features

- **Project-based Sessions**: One tmux session per project (folder), multiple tasks as panes
- **Interactive Background Tasks**: Commands run in tmux panes you can attach to
- **Full Terminal Access**: Attach with `tmux attach -t claude-<project>` for full control
- **Output Monitoring**: Claude Code can capture and monitor terminal output
- **Send Input**: Send commands or special keys (Ctrl+C, etc.) to specific tasks
- **Task Management**: List, monitor, and kill individual tasks or entire project sessions
