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.
DevOps Dashboard MCP Server
Monitor and manage Linux infrastructure through your AI assistant. Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), this server gives Claude (or any MCP-compatible client) full visibility into your systems — services, logs, resources, containers, and more.
Tools
Tool | Description |
| Check systemd service status (active, failed, enabled state, PID, memory) |
| Fetch journalctl logs with time range, priority, and grep filtering |
| List processes sorted by CPU/memory with optional name filtering |
| Disk space and inode usage by mount point |
| RAM and swap usage, with optional /proc/meminfo details |
| List listening TCP/UDP ports with associated processes |
| List cron jobs for any/all users plus system cron files |
| Read, validate, and inspect nginx configuration and sites |
| Container, image, volume, network, and resource usage overview |
| Aggregate health check with thresholds and warnings |

service_status
Check whether a systemd service is running, its enabled/disabled state, PID, and recent status output.
Parameters:
service (string, required) — Service name (e.g. "nginx", "sshd")
user (boolean, optional) — Query user-level services (--user)service_logs
Fetch recent journal logs with powerful filtering. Supports time ranges, priority levels, and text search.
Parameters:
service (string, required) — Service name
lines (number, 1-1000, default 50) — Number of log lines
since (string, optional) — Time filter ("1h ago", "today", "2024-01-15")
priority (string, optional) — Minimum level (emerg/alert/crit/err/warning/notice/info/debug)
grep (string, optional) — Filter by pattern
user (boolean, optional) — Query user-level service logsprocess_list
List running processes with resource usage. Sort by CPU, memory, PID, or elapsed time.
Parameters:
sort (string, default "cpu") — Sort field: cpu, mem, pid, time
limit (number, 1-200, default 20) — Number of processes to show
filter (string, optional) — Filter by process name (case-insensitive)disk_usage
Show disk space and inode usage. Excludes virtual filesystems for clean output.
Parameters:
path (string, optional) — Specific mount point or path
human (boolean, default true) — Human-readable sizesmemory_info
RAM, swap, and system load. Detailed mode adds buffer/cache breakdown from /proc/meminfo.
Parameters:
detailed (boolean, default false) — Include /proc/meminfo detailsport_scan
List all listening network ports with their owning processes. Uses ss with netstat fallback.
Parameters:
port (number, 1-65535, optional) — Check a specific port
protocol (string, default "all") — Filter: tcp, udp, allcron_list
Enumerate cron jobs across users and system directories.
Parameters:
user (string, optional) — Specific user to query
all (boolean, default false) — List jobs for ALL users
include_system (boolean, default true) — Include /etc/crontab and /etc/cron.d/nginx_config
Read and validate nginx configuration.
Parameters:
action (string, required) — show, test, list_sites, or full_config
site (string, optional) — Specific site config to read (with "show" action)docker_status
Docker environment overview. Gracefully handles missing Docker or stopped daemon.
Parameters:
action (string, default "overview") — overview, containers, images, stats, networks, volumes
filter (string, optional) — Filter by container/image namesystem_health
Aggregate health check that inspects memory, disk, load, failed services, and network listeners. Returns HEALTHY or ISSUES DETECTED with specific warnings.
Parameters:
verbose (boolean, default false) — Include full details per subsystemRequirements
Node.js >= 18
Linux (uses systemd, journalctl, ss, df, free, ps, etc.)
Optional: Docker, nginx (tools degrade gracefully if not present)
