list_sessions

MCP tool from Pty MCP by raychao-oao

List all active sessions

How to use it

Project documentation lists list_sessions for the Pty 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.
