Description

Adding a new community MCP server that provides iTerm2 terminal integration. This server allows AI assistants to interact with iTerm2 terminals through the Model Context Protocol, enabling terminal automation and REPL interactions.

Server Details

• Server: iterm_mcp_server (npm package)
• Type: Community Server (README.md addition)

Motivation and Context

The iTerm MCP server fills a gap in terminal integration for macOS users, allowing AI assistants to:

• Create and manage iTerm2 terminal sessions
• Execute commands in terminals
• Read terminal output
• List active terminals
• Close terminals

This server is particularly useful for:

• REPL interactions
• Terminal automation
• Command-line assistance
• Development workflows

How Has This Been Tested?

• Tested with Cursor IDE
• Verified server functionality with iTerm2 on macOS
• Package is published and available on npm
• Configuration tested in Cursor's MCP settings

Breaking Changes

No breaking changes - this is an addition to the community servers list.
