mcp server for agentsphere sandbox

PTY Create Function for MCP Server

This implementation provides a cross-platform pty_create(sandbox_id: str) function for MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, enabling terminal interaction with sandboxes.

Features

• ✅ Cross-platform support: Works on macOS and Windows
• ✅ Optional sandbox_id parameter: Reuse existing sandboxes or create new ones
• ✅ MCP protocol integration: Full server/client implementation
• ✅ Async/await support: Non-blocking terminal operations
• ✅ Session management: Create, manage, and close multiple terminal sessions
• ✅ Backward compatibility: Works even without agentsphere package

Installation

# Install basic dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Install agentsphere for full functionality (optional)
pip install agentsphere

Quick Start

Basic Usage

from pty_create import pty_create, get_terminal_session

# Create a new PTY session
session_id = pty_create()
print(f"Session ID: {session_id}")

# Get session object
session = get_terminal_session(session_id)

# Write to terminal
session.write(b"ls -la\n")

# Read from terminal
output = await session.read()
print(f"Output: {output}")

# Close session
await close_terminal_session(session_id)

With Specific Sandbox

# Create PTY session with specific sandbox
session_id = pty_create("sandbox_123")

Simple Terminal Mode (without agentsphere)

The function works even without the agentsphere package, providing a simple terminal interface:

# This will work even without agentsphere
session_id = pty_create()
session = get_terminal_session(session_id)

MCP Server Integration

Running the Server

# Start the MCP server
python examples/server_example.py server

Client Connection

from mcp_terminal import MCPClient

# Connect to server
client = MCPClient(host="localhost", port=8001)
await client.connect()

# Create session
session_id = await client.pty_create()

# Interact with terminal
await client.pty_write("ls -la\n")
output = await client.pty_read()

Interactive Client

# Run interactive client
python examples/server_example.py interactive

API Reference

pty_create(sandbox_id: Optional[str] = None) -> str

Create a new PTY terminal session.

Parameters:

• sandbox_id (str, optional): Sandbox ID to connect to. If not provided, uses existing or creates new.

Returns:

• str: Unique session identifier

Example:

session_id = pty_create()                    # Use default sandbox
session_id = pty_create("sandbox_123")        # Use specific sandbox

get_terminal_session(session_id: str) -> TerminalSession

Get a terminal session by ID.

Parameters:

• session_id (str): The session ID returned by pty_create()

Returns:

• TerminalSession: Terminal session object

Example:

session = get_terminal_session(session_id)
session.write(b"command\n")
output = await session.read()

list_terminal_sessions() -> dict

List all active terminal sessions.

Returns:

• dict: Dictionary containing session information

Example:

sessions = list_terminal_sessions()
for session_id, info in sessions.items():
    print(f"Session {session_id}: PID {info['pid']}")

close_terminal_session(session_id: str) -> bool

Close a terminal session.

Parameters:

• session_id (str): The session ID to close

Returns:

• bool: True if closed successfully

Example:

success = await close_terminal_session(session_id)

TerminalSession Methods

write(data: bytes) -> None

Write data to the terminal.

Parameters:

• data (bytes): Data to write

Example:

session.write(b"echo hello\n")

read() -> str

Read data from the terminal.

Returns:

• str: Terminal output

Example:

output = await session.read()

resize(rows: int, cols: int) -> None

Resize the terminal.

Parameters:

• rows (int): Number of rows
• cols (int): Number of columns

Example:

await session.resize(40, 120)

close() -> None

Close the terminal session.

Example:

await session.close()

Examples

Example 1: Basic Usage

import asyncio
from pty_create import pty_create, get_terminal_session

async def main():
    # Create session
    session_id = pty_create()
    session = get_terminal_session(session_id)

    # Run commands
    session.write(b"ls -la\n")
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    output = await session.read()
    print(f"Directory listing: {output}")

    # Close session
    await close_terminal_session(session_id)

asyncio.run(main())

Example 2: Multiple Sessions

async def multiple_sessions():
    # Create multiple sessions
    session1 = pty_create()
    session2 = pty_create("sandbox_456")

    # Get session objects
    s1 = get_terminal_session(session1)
    s2 = get_terminal_session(session2)

    # Run different commands
    s1.write(b"echo 'Session 1'\n")
    s2.write(b"echo 'Session 2'\n")

    # Wait for completion
    await asyncio.sleep(2)

    # Read outputs
    print(f"Session 1 output: {await s1.read()}")
    print(f"Session 2 output: {await s2.read()}")

    # Close all sessions
    await close_terminal_session(session1)
    await close_terminal_session(session2)

Example 3: MCP Server Integration

from mcp_terminal import TerminalMCPServer

async def run_server():
    server = TerminalMCPServer()
    await server.start_server(host="localhost", port=8001)
    print("MCP server running on ws://localhost:8001")

    # Keep server running
    await asyncio.Event().wait()

asyncio.run(run_server())

Testing

Run the test suite:

# Test basic functionality
python pty_create.py test

# Test examples
python examples/basic_usage.py full

Platform Compatibility

macOS

• ✅ Full support with agentsphere
• ✅ Unix PTY mechanisms
• ✅ Terminal.app compatible

Windows

• ✅ Basic support without agentsphere
• ✅ Terminal integration
• ✅ Command prompt compatible

Linux

• ✅ Full support with agentsphere

Error Handling

The function includes comprehensive error handling:

try:
    session_id = pty_create()
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Failed to create session: {e}")

Common errors:

• agentsphere package not available: Install agentsphere for full functionality
• Session creation failed: Check network connectivity and sandbox status
• Permission denied: Check file permissions and sandbox access
