README

The first macOS terminal with native MCP support

Prateek-Term is more than a terminal emulator. It exposes 11 MCP tools that let AI agents (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP client) connect to SSH devices, run commands, transfer files, and manage sessions — all through a standardized protocol.

No plugins. No wrappers. Built in.

Features

Terminal

  • xterm.js with 256-color / true-color support, Catppuccin Mocha theme
  • Multi-tab (Cmd+T) and multi-window (tear off any tab)
  • Tab groups — tabs auto-grouped by connection tags (HOME, AWS, etc.) with colored labels; drag tabs between groups, collapse/expand groups
  • Bracketed paste for safe multi-line input
  • Middle-click paste from clipboard

SSH / Serial / File Transfer

  • SSH with PEM/identity file support, custom SSH options, ssh-config import/export
  • Telnet with configurable host, port, and options
  • SFTP with PEM support and drag-and-drop file upload from Finder
  • SCP with legacy protocol support (-O flag) for embedded/BusyBox devices
  • FTP interactive client
  • Serial with configurable baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity

Connection Manager

  • Save, edit, and organize connection profiles per protocol
  • Custom Actions — define per-profile scripts that execute instantly in the terminal
  • Export / Import profiles and actions as JSON
