Enables management of long-running terminal processes on Linux, allowing AI agents to start, stop, and monitor processes with real-time log capture and search capabilities.
Enables management of long-running terminal processes on macOS, allowing AI agents to start, stop, and monitor processes with real-time log capture and search capabilities.
Click on "Install 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., "@MCP Terminalstart npm run dev for the backend process"
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.
MCP Terminal
MCP server for managing long-running processes and logs. Enables AI agents (Claude Code) to start, stop, and monitor processes with real-time log capture.
Tiếng Việt
Tính năng
Khởi động/Dừng Process - Chạy các process dài và tắt chúng một cách an toàn
Ghi Log thời gian thực - Tất cả stdout/stderr được tự động ghi vào file log
Tìm kiếm Log - Tìm log theo từ khóa hoặc regex
Quản lý Process - Liệt kê các process đang chạy
Log Rotation - Tự động xoay log khi đạt 10MB để tránh đầy ổ đĩa

Installation
Prerequisites
Node.js >= 18
npm
Steps
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/h004888/mcp_terminal_process.git
cd mcp-terminal
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Build
npm run buildClaude Code Configuration
Add to your Claude Code .claude.json:
Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.claude.json
macOS/Linux: ~/.claude.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-terminal": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["C:/path/to/mcp-terminal/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}After configuration, restart Claude Code to load the MCP server.
OpenCode Configuration
Add to your OpenCode opencode.json:
Default location: ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
"mcp": {
"mcp-terminal": {
"type": "local",
"command": ["node", "/path/to/mcp-terminal/dist/index.js"],
"environment": {},
"timeout": 5000,
"enabled": true
}
}
}Example with full path (Windows):
{
"mcp": {
"mcp-terminal": {
"type": "local",
"command": ["node", "C:/Users/ADMIN/Downloads/mcp-terminal/dist/index.js"],
"environment": {},
"timeout": 5000,
"enabled": true
}
}
}Example using npx (if published to npm):
{
"mcp": {
"mcp-terminal": {
"type": "local",
"command": ["npx", "-y", "mcp-terminal"],
"timeout": 5000,
"enabled": true
}
}
}After configuration, restart OpenCode to load the MCP server.
Tools
start_process
Start a long-running process.
{
"id": "backend",
"command": "npm run dev",
"cwd": "C:/path/to/project"
}Parameters:
id(required) - Unique process identifiercommand(required) - Command to executecwd(optional) - Working directory
stop_process
Stop a running process.
{
"id": "backend"
}get_logs
Retrieve logs from a process.
{
"id": "backend",
"lines": 100
}Parameters:
id(required) - Process identifierlines(optional) - Return last N lines only
search_logs
Search logs for a keyword or regex.
{
"id": "backend",
"keyword": "ERROR",
"regex": false
}Parameters:
id(required) - Process identifierkeyword(required) - Search termregex(optional) - Use regex search (default: false)
list_processes
List all running processes.
{}Returns all currently running processes with their IDs, status, command, and log file paths.
Usage Examples
Start a backend server
/mcp start_process {"id": "backend", "command": "npm run dev", "cwd": "C:/my-project"}Check logs
/mcp get_logs {"id": "backend"}Search for errors
/mcp search_logs {"id": "backend", "keyword": "Exception"}List all processes
/mcp list_processes {}Stop a process
/mcp stop_process {"id": "backend"}Architecture
User (Claude Code) → MCP Protocol → MCP Server → Process Manager → logs/*.logComponents:
MCP Server - Handles MCP protocol and exposes tools
Process Manager - Spawns, tracks, and kills child processes
Log Service - File-based log storage with 10MB rotation
Log Files
Logs are stored in the logs/ directory:
logs/{id}.log- Current active loglogs/{id}.1.log- Rotated log (oldest)etc.
Logs are rotated when they exceed 10MB. Maximum 5 rotated files kept per process.
