To start a new SSH or Telnet connection through external control, enable Allow External New Connections and create a saved connection profile that allows external control.

Agent Skill

Install the exaterm-cli Skill from this repository for use with supported AI agents:

npx skills add caribouHY/exaterm --skill exaterm-cli

Use the -a option to target a specific agent:

npx skills add caribouHY/exaterm --skill exaterm-cli -a codex
npx skills add caribouHY/exaterm --skill exaterm-cli -a claude-code
npx skills add caribouHY/exaterm --skill exaterm-cli -a github-copilot

The Skill does not include ExaTerm itself. Install ExaTerm separately, then enable Enable External Control and Enable Terminal CLI in Settings.

MCP Integration

ExaTerm supports a stdio MCP compatibility adapter through exaterm-mcp.exe. To use it, enable Enable External Control and Enable MCP Compatibility Adapter in Settings.

To start a new SSH or Telnet connection through external control, enable Allow External New Connections and create a saved connection profile that allows external control.

External control can read terminal output and send input or commands. Terminal content may contain sensitive information, so enable it only for trusted local clients.

AI Assistant

The AI assistant can use terminal context from the active tab to help explain output and suggest commands. Review any suggested command before running it in a terminal session.

OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and OpenRouter require provider API keys or endpoint settings. Save or clear provider credentials from Settings.

Ollama usually does not require an API key, but it does require a running Ollama server that ExaTerm can reach.
