## Description

This MCP server provides AI assistants with secure terminal command execution capabilities through both persistent shell sessions and non-persistent command execution, built by Iris using Go with cross-platform support for macOS and Linux. The implementation offers three execution modes: isolated commands with configurable timeouts, persistent shell sessions that maintain state between commands (allowing directory changes and environment variables to persist), and session management tools for listing and closing active shells. Built with both STDIO and StreamableHTTP transport support, comprehensive timeout controls, and non-root execution capabilities, it serves developers needing AI-powered terminal automation, teams requiring programmatic access to shell environments through conversational interfaces, and applications that need to execute system commands while maintaining shell context across multiple interactions.
