Shellquote Mcp

Overview

Shellquote Mcp is a Model Context Protocol server that safely escapes shell arguments across bash, cmd.exe, and PowerShell. It exposes shell-safe escaping as tools your AI assistant can invoke directly, eliminating the need to manually construct safe command strings.

The server runs locally on your machine via the npm package @mukundakatta/shellquote-mcp, communicating over stdio. No authentication is required—just install and run. Version v0.1.0 is available now under the Apache-2.0 license, with source code hosted at MukundaKatta/mcp-stack on GitHub.

Shellquote Mcp is listed in the Development category on mcp.site and works with any MCP client, including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and others. If you maintain this server, claim this listing to verify ownership and keep your details up to date.
