Side-by-side comparison of two Model Context Protocol servers — install paths, tools, quality signals, and directory engagement so you can pick the right one for Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients.
Answers "what did that command print?" from your real terminal history: a per-command PTY session recorder (OSC 133) stores every command's full output, exit code, cwd, and duration in local SQLite/FTS5, and the MCP server searches, retrieves, and diffs those outputs — secret redaction on by default before anything reaches the model.
Terminal MCP server for AI coding agents with persistent PTY sessions, ring-buffer incremental reads, headless xterm screen capture, multi-agent orchestration, and a real-time web dashboard.
