Atuin’s public GitHub repository records a recent commit titled “feat(ai): list, read and richer search MCP tools for sessions.” The repository describes Atuin as a shell-history tool that stores history in SQLite and captures command context including exit status, duration, timestamp, hostname, and working directory. It also provides full-screen history search and encrypted synchronization across machines. The new commit expands the MCP-facing operations available for sessions; the supplied repository excerpt does not establish how these tools are permissioned or how they perform in practice.
