# Tmux

> Use this tool when you need to automate and interact with tmux sessions programmatically, solving problems such as remote system administration and complex terminal-based workflows. It takes arbitrary tmux commands as input and executes them through a simple interface, outputting the results. Use it in contexts requiring automated terminal session management, such as development environment setup or remote server control.

## Description

This MCP server implementation provides programmatic control over tmux sessions, allowing AI assistants to interact with and manipulate tmux environments. Developed by jonrad, it leverages the libtmux library to execute tmux commands through a simple interface. The server exposes a single tool that can run arbitrary tmux commands, effectively wrapping the tmux CLI. While currently a proof of concept, it demonstrates the potential for AI-driven terminal session management. This implementation is particularly useful for scenarios requiring automated tmux session control, such as remote system administration, development environment setup, or complex terminal-based workflows.
