MXterm Pro: the terminal for AI coding agents, SSH and SFTP
One native workspace for terminals, agents, SSH/SFTP and the work around your servers. MXterm Pro runs Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and 24 other coding-agent CLIs in real terminal panes, next to your SSH sessions and a remote file browser, with a Control Room so agents can talk to each other and a Token Meter that shows how much of your usage window is gone.
Claude Code · Codex · Gemini CLI · GitHub Copilot · Cursor Agent · Qwen Code · Amp · and 20 more
What it does
| 🪟 | Real terminal panes | Split, move between tabs and maximize. Every pane is a real PTY, not a wrapper. → Run Claude Code and Codex in split panes |
| 🎛️ | Control Room | Agents in separate panes join a shared room, message each other and hand off tasks while you watch. → Control Room guide |
| 🌿 | One git worktree per agent | An opt-in setting gives every agent pane its own branch and checkout. → Git worktrees guide |
| 📂 | SSH and SFTP beside the terminal | Saved hosts, a remote file browser, an in-app editor, remote grep and a chmod grid. → SFTP GUI guide |
| 🗄️ | Fleet tools | Host groups, config import, broadcast to many panes and a live CPU/RAM/disk bar, with no agent on the server. → Manage 50+ servers |
| 🔢 | Token Meter | Reads the token counts your agents already write to disk and shows them in the title bar. → Token Meter guide |
| ⚡ | Command Recipes | Ready-made Linux commands on Cmd+J. A keyword match, not an AI model. → Command Recipes guide |
| 📱 | Control from your phone | Pair a phone, tablet or browser by code and steer the panes you share. Phone control is free. → Remote access guide |
The problem it solves: an agent is working in one terminal, the server you deploy to is in another, and you keep switching windows to see whether the first one is about to hit its usage limit. MXterm Pro puts the agents, the servers and the usage in one place.

FAQ
Is MXterm Pro free?
Yes. On the Free plan you can split as many terminal panes as you like yourself. Panes that agents open for you are limited on Free, and Pro raises that limit. Free also includes up to 5 saved SSH hosts, a Control Room with 2 agents, git worktree isolation, the Token Meter and Command Recipes. Pro removes the limits on hosts, rooms and members. It is a one-time payment, not a subscription. See pricing.
Does MXterm Pro install Claude Code or Codex for me?
No. Install the agent CLIs you want and sign in with your own account. MXterm Pro runs them in panes. → Install guide
How do I run two agents without them breaking each other's files?
Tick Isolate features in git worktrees so each agent pane gets its own branch and checkout. → Git worktrees guide
Does the Token Meter send my usage anywhere?
By default it only reads the transcripts each agent already keeps on your disk, and for token counts nothing is sent anywhere. Optional switches for plan limits and account balances contact the provider and are off until you turn them on. → Token Meter guide
Can I edit files on a remote server?
Yes. Open a saved SSH host and the SFTP panel docks beside the terminal, with a Monaco editor, remote grep and a chmod grid. → SFTP GUI guide
Does it run on Windows and Linux?
Yes. Windows 10/11 x64 is public; its installer is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen shows an Unknown publisher on first run. Linux (Ubuntu 22.04 or later, .deb or AppImage) is a beta. → Install guide
