Install

npx -y -y @smithery/cli

claude_desktop_config.json

claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ferrislucas-iterm-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "-y",
        "@smithery/cli"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Add this to your Claude Desktop config file. Find it at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS.

What this does

ferrislucas/iterm-mcp exposes a set of tools to Claude over the Model Context Protocol. After you add it to claude_desktop_config.json (snippet above) and restart Claude Desktop, those tools become callable inside any conversation. That makes it useful when you want Claude to reach into other AI providers and LLM tooling without copy-pasting context every turn.

Common use cases

  • Delegate reasoning to a different model or LLM provider from a Claude session
  • Pull live model documentation, rate limits, or usage data into context
  • Chain Claude with another agent or evaluation pipeline
