System Monitor MCP Server
Provides tools for monitoring Docker containers, including status, uptime, ports, and image information.
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@System Monitor MCP ServerShow me the current CPU and memory usage"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

🛠️ Tools
Tool | Description | Returns |
| CPU, memory, swap usage | CPU%, Memory%, Swap%, Load avg |
| Running processes sorted by CPU/memory | PID, name, CPU%, memory%, status |
| Disk usage per mount point | Mount, total, used, available, usage% |
| Docker container status | Container name, status, uptime, ports, image |
| Tail log files | Last N lines with timestamps |
💡 Use Cases
Self-monitoring — AI agents that monitor their own infrastructure
DevOps automation — Deploy, restart, and manage services autonomously
Incident response — Detect and diagnose issues in real-time
Resource optimization — Analyze usage patterns and suggest cost savings
📋 Requirements
Python 3.10+
Linux (most features) / macOS (partial) / Windows (limited)
Docker (optional — for container monitoring)
psutil, mcp, docker-py
🔐 Security
Read-only by design — no kill/rm/create operations exposed
No root required — runs with user-level permissions
Sandboxed log access — path traversal protection built in
