claude-tmux

MCP server for orchestrating multiple Claude Code instances via tmux, enabling spawning, reading, sending, listing, and killing sessions.

Caution. Specific findings reduced this grade. They are listed on the page. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

// key findings
⚠️
Tool descriptions don’t match what handlers do
2 tools describe read intent but their handlers mutate — read (line 16: execSync(`tmux ${args}`, { encoding: "utf-8", timeout: 10000 })); list (line 16: execSync(`tmux ${args}`, { encoding: "utf-8", timeout: 10000 }))
⚠️
Known vulnerabilities in dependencies: 1 high
Affects packages this MCP installs at runtime. Upgrade or remove the affected dependency.
No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation
Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.
Open source with a license and README
Anyone can audit the code, the license is declared, and the publisher documents what it does.
// tools this server exposes5 tools

These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.

spawn

Start a Claude Code instance in a tmux session.

read

Wait for Claude sessions to finish working and return their terminal output. Use 'names' for parallel waiting on multiple sessions.

send

Send a message to a running session.

kill

Terminate a session.

list

List active sessions.

// known CVEs in dependencies1 high

Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.

Tool annotations

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations

Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.

All four hints declared on every tool

5/5 tools missing one or more hints — spawn (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); read (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); send (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +2 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.

For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.

Descriptions match behaviour

2 tools describe read intent but their handlers mutate — read (line 16: execSync(`tmux ${args}`, { encoding: "utf-8", timeout: 10000 })); list (line 16: execSync(`tmux ${args}`, { encoding: "utf-8", timeout: 10000 }))

Rename the tool, rewrite the description, or move the side-effect into a separate clearly-named tool.

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

Shell command execution

1 call in production code run through a shell (src/index.ts:16)

Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 1 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.25.2 (high)

Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

Tool description accuracy

list: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes

Update tool descriptions to accurately reflect all capabilities — especially write, delete, or execute operations.

// full audit trail
The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.
// improvement guidance — verified publishers only
We have 7 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
