What's Good

Apache-2.0 (xyTom/coding-tools-mcp; NOTICE = attribution only). Free via `uvx coding-tools-mcp --stdio --workspace …`, npx, or PyPI. Model-neutral default catalog of 18 tools (patches, PTY sessions, git) any MCP client can drive — Claude Desktop/Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline, VS Code, Windsurf, Gemini CLI. ★1,158 on GitHub 2026-09-28.

The Catch

Vs Desktop Commander MCP: that is desktop-host terminal/files/processes; this is the chat-client→coding-agent hands layer (patches, interactive sessions, git) for any MCP client. Mid-★ (~1158) kept as Agents/MCP fill — Landlock is Linux-only; use Docker/VM for untrusted work.

Verdict

Apache-2.0 coding-runtime MCP when chat clients need workspace-jailed hands — not Desktop Commander host OS control; mid-★ Agents/MCP fill.
