🚧 Currently Windows only — macOS and Linux builds are not yet available.
This is what makes LyShell different. It serves as an MCP server, letting external AI clients like Claude Code control terminals via the MCP protocol — listing sessions, sending commands, reading output, transferring files, and managing connections.
📖 Configuration — see MCP Configuration. In most cases you don't configure anything by hand: launch an agent from the Agent Launcher and ask it to configure LyShell as its MCP server itself. Registration configs are emitted in JSON / CLI / TOML to fit different clients.
