Best htop MCP Servers
htop is an interactive process viewer for Unix systems. It is a text-mode application (for console or X terminals) and requires ncurses.
Why this server?
Allows AI agents to interact with htop for system monitoring and process management within terminal sessions.
AlicenseBqualityBmaintenanceLocal + remote terminal interaction control MCP Server. Lets AI agents control interactive TUI programs the way a human would.298MITWhy this server?
Allows driving the htop process monitor, navigating its interactive TUI, and reading system metrics.
Why this server?
Enables AI agents to interact with the htop process monitoring tool, including launching htop sessions, navigating through the interface, using search functionality, and capturing visual output as PNG screenshots.
AlicenseAqualityDmaintenanceEnables AI agents to interact with terminal-based TUI applications by capturing visual terminal output as PNG screenshots and simulating keyboard input through a virtual X11 display.42Apache 2.0Why this server?
Allows for launching and interacting with htop in a managed pseudo-terminal, providing tools to capture screenshots, read the terminal buffer, and send keystrokes to monitor system resources.
Why this server?
Supports the remote installation and management of the htop system monitoring tool via automated package management commands.
AlicenseAqualityAmaintenanceSSH automation MCP server that enables Claude and ChatGPT to execute commands, manage files, install packages, and control services on remote servers over SSH — supporting password, key, and agent authentication.331,2674MITWhy this server?
Provides a terminal dashboard interface similar to htop for monitoring Cosmergon agents, displaying energy levels, fields, rankings, and enabling keyboard-driven interactions with the game economy.
AlicenseAqualityAmaintenanceLiving economy for AI agents. Conway physics, energy currency, autonomous marketplace. Your agent auto-registers and competes against 49 baseline agents. Benchmark reports measure 7 dimensions of agent performance. No API key needed.43MITWhy this server?
Enables driving the htop system monitor via a tmux session, allowing interactive control and monitoring.
AlicenseBqualityCmaintenanceEnables stateful subprocess sessions (REPLs) and tmux-backed TUI program control for interactive tools like Python, r2, or shells.13AGPL 3.0Why this server?
Allows interacting with the htop process viewer through a live terminal session, including reading its screen, sending keys and mouse events, and waiting for UI states.
Alicense-qualityBmaintenanceEnables AI agents to spawn persistent terminal sessions, send keystrokes, read screen state, and assert output, allowing them to interact with stateful terminal applications like vim, htop, and gdb.964MITWhy this server?
Allows running and interacting with the htop system monitor through an interactive pseudo-terminal session.
Alicense-qualityDmaintenanceEnables AI assistants to manage interactive pseudo-terminal (PTY) sessions for programs requiring full terminal emulation like vim, ssh, and interactive REPLs. It provides tools to spawn sessions, send input with escape sequences, and read buffered terminal output.19MIT
