MCP System Monitor

What is MCP System Monitor?

MCP System Monitor is a system monitoring tool that exposes real-time system metrics via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling LLMs to retrieve CPU, memory, disk, network, host, and process information through an MCP-compatible interface.

How to use MCP System Monitor?

Clone the repository and run make build to compile the binary. Start the server in stdio mode by executing ./mcp-monitor. The server then communicates with an MCP-compatible LLM client.
