🛠 Terminai: Integrating CLI Agents into Any Terminal

Terminai has been introduced—a transparent terminal wrapper that allows you to integrate any CLI agents (such as Claude Code or Codex) into your current session. The tool works via a PTY terminal overlay and uses a local MCP server to pass context (screen content, current directory, history) to the agent.

🌍 Terminai demonstrates a new UX approach for developer AI tools, moving away from the "separate chat" model toward a "transparent augmentation" model of the working environment via MCP (Model Context Protocol).

👤 You can use your current AI model subscriptions directly in your favorite terminal without changing your emulator, gaining full work context without the need for copy-pasting.
