write_to_terminal

MCP tool from Iterm MCP by ferrislucas

Writes to the active iTerm terminal, often used to run a command. Returns the number of lines of output produced by the command.

How to use it

Project documentation lists write_to_terminal for the Iterm MCP MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
