- Parameters
-
-
session_name(str | None) # – Session name to look up. -
session_id(str | None) # – Session ID (e.g. '$1') to look up. -
window_name(str | None) # – Name for the new window. -
start_directory(str | None) # – Existing directory to start in.~expands; a relative path resolves against the MCP server process's directory. -
direction(t.Literal ["before", "after"] | None) # – Window placement direction. -
socket_name(str | None) # – tmux socket name. Defaults to LIBTMUX_SOCKET env var. -
environment(dict[str, str] | str | None) # – Per-process environment as a mapping or JSON object string. Values do not modify the tmux session environment. Each item becomes a tmux-elaunch option. Values may be visible to host process inspection in the tmux client argv during launch and in the child environment afterward; MCP audit redaction does not hide either surface. Pass credential references, not literal credentials. -
suppress_persistent_history(bool) # – Whether to suppress persistent history for the spawned shell. Defaults to False for MCP and direct Python calls. This per-call option does not inherit LIBTMUX_SUPPRESS_HISTORY. Startup files may override these controls.
