README
A Voyager-inspired MCP server that enables coding agents to build and immediately use CLI tools without restarting sessions.
Features
- Single Tool: The tool exposes a single tool
run_shell_command. - Skill library: Agents can add new commands in
~/.config/voyager/bin/. - Dynamic schema: The
run_shell_commandtool description can be configured from~/.config/voyager/prompt.txt, and it also dynamically loads available executables in~/.config/voyager/bin/. - Configurable: Each executable can provide a
.descfile, which will be included in therun_shell_commandtool description. - Secure Execution: Uses subprocess with argument lists to prevent shell injection.
