Quick start
Install
Download the package for your platform from Downloads. Packages are not code-signed: on Windows choose "More info → Run anyway", on macOS right-click the app and choose "Open".
Create a connection
- In the sidebar choose a protocol: SSH, Telnet, Serial, VNC or RDP.
- Fill in host, port and credentials. SSH supports password or private key, plus a jump host.
- Double-click the connection (or use the plus button) to open a terminal or desktop tab.
- For VNC / RDP the desktop appears directly in the tab; VNC uses embedded noVNC, RDP uses embedded IronRDP.
Hand the session to an agent
- Open Settings → MCP server, enable it and keep the Bearer token private.
- Open Settings → Agent access and click "Copy agent guide".
- Send the guide to your agent (Claude Code, Kimi Code, Codex, Cursor, WorkBuddy, CodeBuddy). The agent registers the MCP server and installs the Skill itself.
- Tell the agent the target host and what to do. It continues on the session you already signed in to.
Without MCP
Run the local termpilot command: tools lists tools, schema shows parameters, call runs a call. If the window is closed the command starts TermPilot first.
Build from source
