Please use the MCP Cheat Engine server to list the currently running processes.
```
If working correctly, Claude will respond with a list of processes from your system.
## Troubleshooting
If it doesn't work:
1. **Check the file path** - Make sure `c:\Users\benam\source\dxt\cheat-engine-server-python\server\main.py` exists
2. **Run Claude as Administrator** - Required for memory access
3. **Check Python installation** - Make sure `python` command works in Command Prompt
