Inspired by tools like "Browser MCP", I wanted a way for LLMs to see my CLI/TUI applications during testing/debugging to help me troubleshoot issues quickly. Yes, LLMs can already spawn terminals on their own, however this allows both you and the LLM to interact concurrently.
There are other creative uses for it... like I can get Claude Code to use the full Gemini or Codex CLIs and ask for help on a problem. Others have pointing out achieving similar results via tmux, however my approach is simpler without that extra layer.
