Common questions
Is Termix safe?
It passed 2 of 2 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
You need to fill in: TERMIX_URL, TERMIX_API_KEY
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed 6 days ago, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv), Docker on your computer.

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.
termix-mcp
MCP server for Termix, the self-hosted SSH/RDP/VNC manager. Lets an agent (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code...) list and operate your Termix's hosts, snippets, dashboard, metrics and audit trail, built on top of termix-sdk.
Not a 1:1 wrapper of the Termix API: it's a curated set of tools, secure by default (no secrets, no persistent SSH session, no destructive tools outside of explicit toolsets).
Install
uvx termix-mcp
Alternatives: pip install termix-mcp or the ghcr.io/sujirodev/termix-mcp image.
Requires a Termix API key (tmx_...) with the minimum RBAC permissions for what the agent will do - see SECURITY.md.
Configure in your client
Claude Desktop / Claude Code (claude_desktop_config.json or .mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": { "termix": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["termix-mcp"], "env": { "TERMIX_URL": "https://termix.example.com", "TERMIX_API_KEY": "tmx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" } } } }
Cursor / VS Code: same format, in each one's MCP configuration file.
Install via the MCP Registry
termix-mcp is published in the official MCP Registry under the name io.github.sujirodev/termix-mcp, with both a PyPI (uvx) package and an OCI (Docker) image listed - see server.json.
Clients that support registry-based discovery can find and install it directly from there instead of hand-writing the JSON config above:
curl -s "https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0/servers?search=io.github.sujirodev/termix-mcp"
Then follow your client's own "add from registry" flow, searching for io.github.sujirodev/termix-mcp. You'll still need to set TERMIX_URL and TERMIX_API_KEY yourself - the registry entry doesn't carry your credentials.
