# procm-mcp
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for process management.
## Supported features
- Secure and automatable process creation
- Cleanup created processes automatically on termination (e.g. exiting claude code)
- Common process management features supported, restarting, deleting, checking status or retreving stdout/stderr of processes
Using these features, LLMs start processes like development servers, docker-compose, or test watchers and check their outputs to fix bugs automatically.
## Installation
```bash
npm i -D procm-mcp
```
`.mcp.json`
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"procm-mcp": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["./node_modules/procm-mcp/build/index.js"],
"env": {}
}
}
}
```
## Secure process creation
You can permit LLMs to use `start-process` tool without confirmation, because procm-mcp only allow whitelisted process creations.
LLMs will ask you to use `allow-start-process` tool to add specific process creation to the whitelist.
Once you allow a process creation, you don't have to confirming it anymore as long as the command and the working directory are the same.
I call it "allow-x pattern", which can balances security and usability in MCP.
**Warning: Do not permit LLMs to use `allow-start-process` without confirmation.That means "Do anything you want to".**
## Tools
- `allow-start-process` Allow specific processes to be created
- `script` (required): The script/command to allow
- `args` (optional): Array of arguments
- `cwd` (optional): Working directory
- `start-process` Start a new process with specified script and arguments
- `script` (required): The script/command to execute
- `name` (optional): A friendly name for the process
- `args` (optional): Array of arguments to pass to the script
- `cwd` (required): Working directory for the process
- `envs` (optional): Environment variables to set for the process
- `delete-process` Stop and remove a process by ID.The default signal is SIGTERM, but SIGKILL(force killing) will be sent after 10 seconds unless the process exits.
- `id` (required): The process ID
- `restart-process` Restart an existing process by ID
- `id` (required): The process ID
- `get-process-info` Get detailed information about a process
- `id` (required): The process ID
- `list-processes` List all currently managed processes
- No parameters required
- `get-process-stdout` Retrieve stdout logs from a process
- `id` (required): The process ID
- `chunkCount` (optional): Number of recent log entries to retrieve (default: 10)
- `get-process-stderr` Retrieve stderr logs from a process
- `id` (required): The process ID
- `chunkCount` (optional): Number of recent log entries to retrieve (default: 10)
