tmux-mcp-tools
Provide MCP tools for interacting with tmux sessions.
Configuration
- Custom XDG:
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tmux-mcp-tools/ mcp.json: MCP server configuration following Cursor formatprompt.md: System prompt template for the AI agent
Tmux Configuration
Add the following to your .tmux.conf file to create a keybinding that opens the client in a new pane:
bind-key M-k split-window -h -p 33 "uvx --from tmux-mcp-tools tmux-agent --target \"$(tmux display-message -t ! -p '#{pane_id}')\" ;"
This will bind Alt+K to open a new pane with the client, targeting the current pane.
