I built an MCP server that connects Claude (Desktop or Claude Code) to iTerm2. It lets the AI read what's in your other terminal tabs and send commands to them.

  What it does:
  - List all open panes with their working directories and running processes
  - Read the screen buffer from any pane
  - Send commands or keystrokes (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+D, etc.) to any pane
  - Split panes programmatically

  Why I made this:
  When using Claude Code for development, I often have servers, logs, or test runners in other terminal tabs. Previously, I had to copy-paste output to give Claude context. Now I can just say "What's the error in tab 3?" or "Run the tests in the pane next to you."

  It uses iTerm2's Python API via WebSocket. For Claude Code:
  claude mcp add --scope user iterm2 -- npx github:sumchattering/iterm2-mcp-server

I've been using Claude Code across multiple repos and machines, and managing the config got messy fast—scattered .mcp.json files, duplicated slash commands, credentials in random places.

So I built claude-config: a simple framework to centralize and version control your Claude Code setup, the same way we do traditional dotfiles.

One bootstrap.sh, one config file. It symlinks commands, sets up MCP servers per-repo, handles credentials, and keeps everything in sync across machines.

Would love feedback, especially if you're managing Claude Code across multiple projects.

Building this AI news generation engine called neat.news but still very much in progress.

The link is http://neat.news

If you want to know how the engine works here is a document

Another example is the recent nepal protests.

More abstractly I think that a multi-cultural or multi-ethnic society at scale is not able to handle anonymous and private communication without collapsing. If we dont go in the direction of benevolent censorship like China and Singapore I think the west is going to see some dark times.

I was getting tired of all the news websites being incendiary and emotionally manipulative so I built this using AI. The goal is to keep the reader informed and nothing else.

Feedback welcome!

I got everything done technically but marketing is challenging
