System Monitor MCP Server

A powerful MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides system monitoring and management capabilities for Claude CLI.

Features

System Information

OS Details: Get comprehensive operating system information
Hardware Info: CPU count, architecture, and specifications
Boot Time: System uptime tracking

Resource Monitoring

CPU Usage: Real-time CPU utilization with per-core statistics
Memory Stats: RAM and swap usage monitoring
Disk Usage: Storage information for all mounted partitions
Network Stats: Interface statistics and connection counts

Process Management

List Processes: View running processes sorted by CPU/memory usage
Process Details: Get detailed information about specific processes
Kill Processes: Terminate processes by PID (with optional force kill)

Installation

Clone or download this repository:

cd system-monitor-mcp

Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Add to Claude CLI:

# Add as a local MCP server (use server_standalone.py)
claude mcp add system-monitor python /path/to/system-monitor-mcp/server_standalone.py

# Or with a specific Python interpreter
claude mcp add system-monitor /usr/bin/python3 /path/to/system-monitor-mcp/server_standalone.py

Usage Examples

Once installed, you can use the following commands in Claude:

Check System Status

"What's my system status?"
"Show me CPU and memory usage"

Monitor Resources

"How much disk space do I have?"
"What's using the most CPU?"
"Show me the top 10 memory-consuming processes"

Process Management

"List all running processes"
"Get details about process 1234"
"Kill the process using port 8080"

Network Information

"Show network statistics"
"What network interfaces are available?"

Available Tools

Tool	Description	Parameters
`get_system_info()`	Get OS and hardware information	None
`get_cpu_usage()`	Get CPU usage statistics	`interval` (float, optional)
`get_memory_info()`	Get RAM and swap usage	None
`get_disk_usage()`	Get disk space for all partitions	None
`list_processes()`	List running processes	`sort_by` (str), `limit` (int)
`get_process_info()`	Get details about a specific process	`pid` (int)
`kill_process()`	Terminate a process	`pid` (int), `force` (bool)
`get_network_stats()`	Get network interface statistics	None

Resources

The server also provides a resource endpoint:

system://status - Returns a formatted system status overview

Security Notes

Some operations may require elevated privileges (e.g., killing system processes)
The server respects system permissions and will report access denied errors appropriately
Use the force parameter with caution when killing processes

Requirements

Python 3.7+
psutil library

Note: This server includes a standalone MCP implementation that doesn't require the official MCP Python SDK.

Troubleshooting

Permission Errors

Some system information may require elevated privileges. Run with appropriate permissions if needed.

Process Not Found

Processes may terminate between listing and accessing. The server handles these cases gracefully.

Platform Compatibility

This server is designed to work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, though some features may vary by platform.

Contributing

Feel free to extend this server with additional monitoring capabilities or system management features!

How are these scores calculated?

local-only server

The server can only run on the client's local machine because it depends on local resources.

Provides system monitoring and management capabilities for Claude CLI, allowing users to view system information, track resource usage, and manage processes through natural language commands.
