Provides shell command execution capabilities on Linux systems, allowing access to system-level information and execution of arbitrary terminal commands.
Enables execution of shell commands on macOS, providing access to system resources, terminal operations, and macOS-specific environment details.
Implements the MCP server infrastructure using Python, facilitating structured command execution and system resource exposure through Python-based interfaces.
Core functionality revolves around shell interfaces, enabling secure execution of terminal commands with safeguards like restrictions, output limits, and timeouts.
Project developed as part of a Udemy course on MCP servers, demonstrating practical implementation of concepts taught in the course.

MCP Shell Server - Udemy Course Project
This repository contains the final project developed during the Udemy course: "Build, Connect, Deploy: Master MCP Servers, MCP Clients, Tools & Resources for Powerful LLM Applications".
📘 Project Overview
The project demonstrates a fully functional MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables the execution of arbitrary shell commands from connected clients. The purpose of this server is to provide a secure and flexible interface between language models and the underlying operating system through shell access.
