Sublime Text MCP

Gives any MCP-speaking AI agent real control over a running Sublime Text 4 instance: run registered ST commands, read/write views and selections, inspect tabs and project state, and eval_python in Sublime's plugin host for anything the typed tools don't cover. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with dap, lsp and sublime text and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.
