Overview

About This Skill

MCPretentious is an advanced automation skill designed to streamline the management of iTerm2 terminals through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This powerful server acts as a puppeteer, allowing users to control multiple terminal sessions efficiently. By leveraging this skill, developers can automate repetitive tasks, manage workflows, and enhance productivity in their coding environments. With a moderate implementation time of approximately 30 minutes, this skill is tailored for those looking to optimize their terminal usage without extensive setup time. The key benefits of MCPretentious include improved workflow automation and enhanced control over terminal sessions. While the exact time savings are not quantified, users can expect significant efficiency gains by automating routine commands and processes. This skill is particularly valuable for developers and AI practitioners who frequently interact with command-line interfaces and require a more streamlined approach to managing their terminal environments. By reducing manual input and allowing for automated responses, MCPretentious can free up valuable time for more complex tasks. Ideal users of MCPretentious include software developers, product managers, and AI practitioners who are familiar with terminal operations and seek to enhance their productivity. This skill is especially relevant for teams working in tech-focused departments where automation can lead to smoother workflows and faster project completion. With its medium GTM relevance, this skill is poised to attract users who are looking to integrate automation into their daily operations. Practical use cases for MCPretentious include automating deployment processes, managing server interactions, and executing batch commands across multiple terminal instances. For example, a developer can set up MCP to automatically run a series of tests across different environments, reducing the time spent on manual execution. The skill's intermediate complexity means that users should have a foundational understanding of terminal commands and the Model Context Protocol to implement it effectively. By incorporating MCPretentious into AI-first workflows, teams can enhance their operational efficiency and focus on innovation rather than routine tasks.

Example Output

# MCPretentious Automation Script for iTerm2

```javascript
const MCPretentious = require('mcp-retentious');

// Initialize MCPretentious with iTerm2 and tmux
const mcp = new MCPretentious({
  terminal: 'iTerm2',
  tmux: true,
  logLevel: 'debug'
});

// Connect to Node.js environment
mcp.connect('production-node-env').then(() => {
  // Execute command in a new tmux session
  mcp.execute('npm run build', {
    sessionName: 'build-session',
    onOutput: (output) => {
      console.log(`Build output: ${output}`);
    },
    onError: (error) => {
      console.error(`Build error: ${error}`);
    }
  });
}).catch((error) => {
  console.error(`Connection error: ${error}`);
});
