  • Captures scrollback history
  • Retrieves terminal metadata (dimensions, path, session info)
  • Uses standard MCP protocol for AI assistant integration

Use cases of MCP SSH Wingman

  • Monitor long-running processes and build outputs
  • Observe terminal-based application behavior
  • Debug issues by reviewing terminal history
  • Provide context-aware assistance based on current terminal state
