Rust MCP guides

tmux-mcp 0.1.2 · Source

The connection guide includes installation, client configuration, and checks for the selected tmux server. It uses the same source revision as the MCP reference.

Install and connect

Let the MCP client launch tmux-mcp and communicate over stdin and stdout. Choose the tool selection in the client configuration. For an existing tmux server, select its socket explicitly.

The installation steps use the tested Rust toolchain and Git revision. The socket settings distinguish an existing server from the launcher’s default dedicated daemon.

Verify the selection

Ask the client to list tools and read tmux://capabilities. Its tool list and socket report describe this connection. The tool-selection topic explains how groups, exact names, and exclusions combine.

Diagnose failures

Read the client’s server log for stderr. The startup checks cover invalid selection, conflicting socket settings, and executable lookup. Reconnect after changing the environment; the server chooses these settings once at startup.
