Windows CLI
MCP server for secure command-line interactions on Windows systems, enabling controlled access to PowerShell, CMD, and Git Bash shells.
What is Windows CLI?
What is Windows CLI? Windows CLI is a secure MCP server designed for controlled command-line interactions on Windows systems, allowing access to PowerShell, CMD, Git Bash, and remote systems via SSH. How to use Windows CLI? To use Windows CLI, configure it by creating a JSON configuration file specifying security controls, then execute commands via MCP clients like Claude Desktop using npx @simonb97/server-win-cli. Key features of Windows CLI? Multi-shell support: Execute commands in PowerShell, CMD, and Git Bash. SSH support: Control remote systems via SSH. Robust security controls: Includes command and SSH command blocking, path restrictions, command logging, and smart argument validation. Use cases of Windows CLI? Securely executing scripts in various command-line environments. Managing remote servers through SSH seamlessly. Logging and auditing command history for security compliance. FAQ from Windows CLI? Is Windows CLI safe to use? Yes, Windows CLI includes various security controls to restrict command execution and access paths to ensure safety. Can I customize the settings? Absolutely! You can specify custom rules, shell-specific settings, and SSH connection profiles in the configuration file. What happens if I don’t configure it? The server will run with a default restrictive configuration to protect your system.
As an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, Windows CLI enables AI agents to communicate effectively through standardized interfaces. The Model Context Protocol simplifies integration between different AI models and agent systems.
