Re:Show HN: Iterm-Mcp – AI Terminal/REPL Control for iTerm2 by toprerules on Thursday January 30, 2025 @06:15PM (#42883201)
You can do this without needing a terminal aware tool. There are tools, and it's easy to write one yourself, that tee buffers the output of every command you run, then pipe the last command into your AI tool. You could also easily support N command buffers.

Then you don't need to be locked into using iTerm2.

I see what you're saying. Yes, what you described sounds like a much better approach in terms of being terminal agnostic. It would be awesome to have a tool like iterm-mcp that supports any terminal, any OS, etc. iterm-mcp is limited specifically to iTerm.
