Real VibeShell components, synthetic Northstar demo data. The gallery uses an isolated browser fixture: no live servers, credentials, model calls, or service restarts. Agent transcripts and command results are examples, not recordings of an actual agent run. Reproduce the screenshots.

Less passing context between tools

A routine server task rarely stays in one terminal. You check a log, find a configuration file, open an editor, ask an agent for help, then work out which machine and session each tool is using.

VibeShell keeps that work together. SSH and local terminals, coding agents, remote files, Git changes, and operations dashboards share a tabbed workspace. Use it as a normal terminal; bring AI into the parts where it helps. You do not need a model account for ordinary terminal and file work.

The difference is the workflow, not a new SSH protocol. OpenSSH, tmux, editors and scripts can cover m

Questions

What is the VibeShell MCP server?

Local-first SSH/SFTP workspace for humans and coding agents: visible operations, shared sessions, integrated files and discoverable plugins.

What tools does VibeShell expose?

20 in total: 20 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is VibeShell safe to connect to an agent?

No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it F (23/100) and found 13 critical or high issues in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on.

What credentials does VibeShell need?

It reads GITHUB_TOKEN from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (d6bee0e435f8), read on 2026-10-07. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
