Overview
What is mcp-daemonize?
mcp-daemonize is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets AI agents like Claude Code and Cline start, stop, monitor, and view logs of long-running daemons (e.g., development servers) without blocking.
How to use mcp-daemonize?
Install via a prebuilt binary from GitHub Releases or build from source with Go 1.24.2+ using go install. Then add the binary path to your MCP host’s configuration (e.g., mcp.json). The server exposes four tools: daemonize_start, daemonize_stop, daemonize_list, and daemonize_logs.
Key features of mcp-daemonize
- Start daemons without waiting for them to finish.
- Stop running daemons by name.
- View the latest logs from any running daemon.
- List all currently running daemons.
Use cases of mcp-daemonize
- Start and stop development servers (e.g., Vite, Next.js) from an AI agent.
- View real-time logs of daemons for debugging.
- Automate workflows that require persistent background processes.
- Enable AI agents to autonomously manage long-running processes.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from running a command directly?
Running a command directly makes the AI agent wait for the process to finish, which is unsuitable for long-running servers. mcp-daemonize starts the process in the background and provides tools to stop it and read its logs without blocking the agent.
What MCP hosts does it work with?
It is designed for AI agents such as Claude Code and Cline, which support the Model Context Protocol.
How do I install mcp-daemonize?
Download the latest binary from the GitHub Releases page and place it in your PATH, or run `go install github.com/mackee/mcp-daemonize/cmd/mcp-daemonize@latest`.
What tools does the server provide?
It provides `daemonize_start` (start a daemon), `daemonize_stop` (stop a named daemon), `daemonize_list` (list all daemons), and `daemonize_logs` (retrieve the last N lines of a daemon’s log).
