# Remote Terminal

**AI-Powered Remote Linux Server Management via MCP**

Remote Terminal lets Claude (the AI assistant) execute commands on your remote Linux servers through a natural chat interface. Watch full output in your browser in real-time while Claude receives smart-filtered summaries optimized for token efficiency.

---

## 🎯 What Is This?

Imagine telling Claude:

```
"Install nginx on my server and configure it with SSL"
"Run complete system diagnostics and tell me if anything looks wrong"
"Find all log errors from the last hour and summarize them"
"Save this batch script and run it again next week"
```

And Claude does it - executing commands, analyzing output, saving useful scripts, and taking action on your behalf.

**That's Remote Terminal.**

## ✨ Key Features

### Core Capabilities

- **🖥️ Remote Command Execution** - Run any bash command on Linux servers
- **🌐 Multi-Server Management** - Switch between multiple servers easily
- **📁 File Transfer (SFTP)** - Upload/download files and directories with compression
- **📜 Batch Script Execution** - Run multi-command scripts 10-50x faster
- **📚 Batch Script Library** - Save, browse, and reuse batch scripts (NEW in 3.1)
- **💬 Conversation Tracking** - Group commands by goal with rollback support
- **🎯 Recipe System** - Save successful workflows for reuse
- **🗄️ Database Integration** - Full audit trail with SQLite
- **🌍 Interactive Web Terminal** - Full-featured terminal in browser (type, paste, scroll history)
- **🔄 Multi-Terminal Sync** - Open multiple terminals, all perfectly synchronized
- **✨ Bash Syntax Highlighting** - VS Code-style colors in standalone UI (NEW in 3.1)


### The Interactive Web Terminal

Remote Terminal provides a **fully interactive terminal window** in your browser at `http://localhost:8080` - it looks and feels just like WSL, PuTTY, or any standard terminal:

**You can:**
- Type commands directly (just like any terminal)
- Copy/paste text (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V)
- Scroll through command history
- Use arrow keys for history navigation
- View real-time command output with colors preserved

**Claude can:**
- Execute commands that appear in your terminal
- See command results instantly
- Continue working while you watch

**The key advantage:** You maintain complete visibility and control. Every command Claude runs appears in your terminal window in real-time. You're never in the dark about what's happening on your server - it's like sitting side-by-side with an assistant who types commands for you while you watch the screen.

**Multi-Terminal Support:** Open multiple browser windows at `http://localhost:8080` - they all stay perfectly synchronized via WebSocket broadcast. Type in one terminal, see it in all terminals instantly. Perfect for multi-monitor setups or sharing your view with others.

⚠️ **Best Practice:** Close unused terminal tabs when done. While the system handles multiple connections efficiently, keeping many old tabs open can consume unnecessary resources and may cause connection issues.

### The Dual-Stream Architecture

Behind the scenes, Remote Terminal uses a smart two-stream approach:

```
           SSH Output from Remote Server
                      ↓
                  [Raw Output]
                      ↓
                 ┌────┴────┐
                 │         │
                 ↓         ↓
             [FULL]    [FILTERED]
                 │         │
                 ↓         ↓
            Web Terminal    Claude
         (You see all)  (Smart summary)
```

**Result:**
- **You:** Full visibility and control in interactive terminal
- **Claude:** Efficient work with 95% token savings  
- **Both:** Shared SSH session, synchronized state
- **Best of both worlds!**


## 🚀 Quick Start

### Installation

**Step 1: Create Installation Directory**
```powershell
# Choose a location for your installation (example: C:\RemoteTerminal)
mkdir C:\RemoteTerminal
cd C:\RemoteTerminal
```

**Step 2: Install Package**
```powershell
# Create dedicated virtual environment
python -m venv remote-terminal-env
remote-terminal-env\Scripts\activate
pip install remote-terminal-mcp
```

**Step 3: Configure Claude Desktop**

Edit `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "remote-terminal": {
            "command": "C:\\RemoteTerminal\\remote-terminal-env\\Scripts\\remote-terminal-mcp.exe",
            "env": {
                "REMOTE_TERMINAL_ROOT": "C:\\RemoteTerminal"
            }
        }
    }
}
```

**Important:** Replace `C:\RemoteTerminal` with your actual installation path from Step 1.

**Step 4: First Run - Auto Setup**

Restart Claude Desktop. On first use, configuration files will automatically copy to `C:\RemoteTerminal`:
- `config.yaml` - Default settings (auto-created from package defaults)
- `hosts.yaml` - Server list (auto-created from template)


**Step 5: Configure Your Servers**

You have two options to configure your servers:

**Option A: Manual Configuration (Recommended for first server)**

Edit `C:\RemoteTerminal\hosts.yaml`:
```yaml
servers:
  - name: My Server
    host: 192.168.1.100
    user: username
    password: your_password
    port: 22
    description: My development server
    tags:
      - development
# Optional: Set default server for auto-connect
# Use list_servers to see which server is marked as [DEFAULT]
default_server: My Server
```

**Option B: AI-Assisted Configuration**

Ask Claude to help you add a new server:
```
Claude, add a new server to my configuration:
- Name: Production Server
- Host: 192.168.1.100
- User: admin
- Password: mypassword
- Port: 22
```

Claude will use the `add_server` tool to update your `hosts.yaml` file automatically.

Restart Claude Desktop and test:
```
List my configured servers
```



**Step 6: (Optional) Run Standalone Web Interface**
```powershell
cd C:\RemoteTerminal
remote-terminal-env\Scripts\activate
remote-terminal-standalone
```

Access at:
- Control Panel: http://localhost:8081
- Terminal: http://localhost:8082

### Technology Stack

- **Python 3.9+** - Core language
- **MCP Protocol** - Claude integration
- **Paramiko** - SSH/SFTP library
- **NiceGUI + WebSockets** - Web terminal with multi-terminal sync
- **SQLite** - Database for history/recipes/scripts
- **FastAPI** - Web framework

---

## 🔧 Configuration

### Configuration Files Location

Configuration files are automatically copied to your working directory on first run:

**For PyPI users:**
- Set `REMOTE_TERMINAL_ROOT` in Claude Desktop config
- Files auto-copy to that directory on first run
- Location: `%REMOTE_TERMINAL_ROOT%\config.yaml` and `hosts.yaml`
- User data preserved when reinstalling/upgrading

**Default template files packaged with installation:**
- `config/config.yaml` - Default settings template
- `config/hosts.yaml.example` - Server configuration template

### hosts.yaml

Define your servers:

```yaml
servers:
  - name: production
    host: 192.168.1.100
    user: admin
    password: secure_pass
    port: 22
    description: Production server
    tags: production, critical
    
  - name: development
    host: 192.168.1.101
    user: dev
    password: dev_pass
    tags: development

default_server: production
```

---

## 🛡️ Security Considerations

### Current Status

- Passwords stored in plain text in `hosts.yaml`
- Web terminal bound to localhost only (not network-exposed)
- Full command audit trail in database
- SSH uses standard security (password authentication)
- User config files stored outside package (preserved on reinstall)

---

## 📊 Performance

### Token Efficiency

Average token savings on verbose commands:

| Command Type | Full Output | Filtered | Savings |
|--------------|-------------|----------|---------|
| apt install  | ~15,000     | ~600     | **96%** |
| ls -la /var  | ~8,000      | ~400     | **95%** |
| Log search   | ~12,000     | ~500     | **96%** |
| find /       | ~30,000     | ~800     | **97%** |

**Average: 95-98% token reduction on verbose commands**

### Speed Improvements

Batch execution vs sequential:

- **10 commands sequential:** 5 minutes (10 round-trips)
- **10 commands batch:** 30 seconds (1 round-trip)
- **Speed improvement: 10x faster!**

---

## 🔍 Advanced Features

### Batch Script Library 

Save batch scripts for reuse:

```
1. Run diagnostics → Script auto-saved with deduplication
2. Browse library → "List my batch scripts"
3. Execute saved script → "Execute script 5"
4. Edit existing → "Load script 3 for editing"
5. Track usage → times_used, last_used_at
```

Features:
- **Automatic deduplication** via SHA256 hash
- **Usage statistics** tracking
- **Edit mode** for modifications
- **Search and sort** capabilities
- **Two-step deletion** with confirmation

### Conversation Tracking

Group related commands by goal:

```
Start conversation: "Configure nginx with SSL"
→ [Execute multiple commands]
→ End conversation: success
→ Create recipe from conversation
```

Benefits:
- Organized command history
- Rollback capability
- Context for AI
- Recipe generation

### Recipe System

Save successful workflows:

```python
# Recipe: wifi_diagnostics
1. lspci | grep -i network
2. iwconfig
3. ip link show
4. dmesg | grep -i wifi
5. systemctl status NetworkManager
```

Reuse on any compatible server:
```
Execute wifi_diagnostics recipe on my new server
```

### Machine Identity

Each server tracked by unique machine_id (hardware + OS fingerprint):
- Commands tracked per physical machine
- Recipes execute on compatible systems
- Audit trail maintains integrity
- Handles server IP changes

## 🐛 Known Issues & Limitations

### Current Limitations

1. **Designed for Windows local machine**
   - Currently optimized for Windows 10/11
   - Linux/Mac support possible with modifications

2. **SSH Key Support not implemented**
   - Password authentication only
   - SSH keys work with manual SSH but not integrated with MCP tools

3. **Works with only one remote server at a time**
   - Can configure multiple servers
   - Can only actively work with one server per session
   - Switch between servers as needed
