jquery.terminal
jQuery Terminal Emulator - JavaScript library for creating web-based terminals with custom commands

Hi all! Had never messed around with MCP servers before, so I recently took a stab at building one for Piston, the free remote code execution engine (learn more about Piston at https://github.com/engineer-man/piston).
piston-mcp will let you connect Piston to your LLM and have it run code for you. It's pretty lightweight, the README contains instructions on how to use it, let me know what you think!
