📖 What is TermuxMCP?

TermuxMCP runs inside Termux and provides a simple HTTP interface so any AI agent can:

• 🖥️ Execute shell commands with real-time streaming output
• 📂 Navigate directories with persistent cd state
• 📦 Install packages non-interactively (pkg install, apt install)
• 💓 Check server health via /ping
