# Terminal Control MCP

> Use this tool when you need to automate interactions with terminal-based applications or integrate with command-line interfaces. It solves problems of automating tasks in text-based user interfaces by capturing visual output as PNG screenshots and simulating keyboard input. The tool takes terminal output as input and generates PNG screenshots and simulated keyboard events as output, ideal for use cases requiring automation of command-line interactions.
