## Description

This tmux MCP server enables AI agents to interact with terminal sessions through tmux, providing tools for creating sessions, sending commands and keystrokes, capturing screen content, and managing session lifecycles. Built in Go using the mcp-go library, it supports both literal text input and special key combinations (like ESC, ENTER, CTRL+C) through a command parsing system that handles vim-style editing workflows and complex terminal interactions. The implementation is valuable for AI assistants that need to perform system administration tasks, run development workflows, execute shell commands, or interact with terminal-based applications where maintaining session state and capturing output is essential.
