Termcp

Termcp is an AI-native terminal platform: many hosts and many sessions at once, fully visualized. Those sessions are managed and maintained by humans and AI together, each side free to take over from or hand back to the other at any time; connection profiles are maintained independently by the platform, so an Agent can use a connection without ever reading its credentials.

People who work with pty, ssh and interactive and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Go.
