AI Coreutils — JSON-first CLI for Agents
@caseSHY
114 JSON-first system commands for AI agents. Zero dependencies, sandbox safety, MCP native. cat, ls, rm, find, grep — all output structured JSON. Glama 92%, all tools A-grade TDQS.
Overview
aicoreutils
114 JSON-first system commands for AI agents — inspired by GNU Coreutils.
Quick Start
pip install aicoreutils
python -m aicoreutils.mcp_server
Why AI agents fail at filesystem operations because shell commands output human-readable text. aicoreutils makes every output machine-parseable JSON with semantic exit codes.
114 commands: cat, ls, rm, find, grep, chmod, stat, du, df, sha256sum, base64... Safety by default: dry-run, cwd sandbox, explicit allow-* gates Zero dependencies: pure Python stdlib MCP native: Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Continue.dev Glama 92%, all tools individually A-grade (TDQS 4.6 avg) MCP Config
