Connecting coding agents to a live desktop workbench with MCP

说明与用途

MCP 集成到 Termexo 允许编码代理实时与工作区交互，自动连接终端并管理任务，无需手动更新提示。

问题

A coding agent can change a repository while remaining unaware of the test running in another terminal or the tasks already recorded in your workbench.

结果

The integration test confirmed that the MCP SDK can perform a stdio handshake with the released Windows application, discover 19 tools, and query an isolated desktop workspace. An automatically connected Codex task terminal successfully called workspace_list and received the test workspace. Grok, OpenCode 2.0.15, and Antigravity also established connections, while Rust tests covered Claude configuration merging.

工作流

• Install Termexo v0.10.10 and enable the MCP server in Settings → AI Control.
• Create a workspace for a local repository and keep the Termexo desktop open.
• Start a new agent terminal and restart existing processes to load the new configuration.
• Ask the agent to call workspace_list via termexo‑desktop and verify the tool call and workspace.
• Identify a test terminal and ask the agent to read its output.
• Create a draft task with a project, goal and acceptance criteria and inspect it.
• Execute the task using the agent and verify terminal_write and task_execute success.
• Review output, task state and resulting files before accepting the work.
• Disable the server or automatic connection and apply settings to remove Termexo‑owned entries while preserving other services.
• Use external clients with the generated JSON or TOML if they support Streamable HTTP and Bearer authentication.
• Evaluate concrete operations before extending the workflow.

The official MCP SDK completed the stdio handshake against the released Windows application, discovered 19 tools and queried an isolated desktop workspace.

After the initial query, identify one test terminal and ask the agent to read its output. Then try creating a draft task with a project, goal and acceptance criteria you can inspect.
