System Monitor provides comprehensive real-time system metrics through an MCP-compatible interface. It allows LLMs to access detailed information about CPU usage, memory utilization, disk statistics, network traffic, host details, and running processes. With this tool, AI assistants can retrieve and analyze system performance data, helping users troubleshoot issues, optimize resource usage, and monitor their computer's health without requiring additional software or manual commands.

Overview

System Monitor is a powerful tool that exposes real-time system metrics through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It enables AI assistants to access comprehensive information about your computer's performance and resource utilization.

Installation

To install and use the System Monitor:

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/seekrays/mcp-monitor.git

Navigate to the project directory:

cd mcp-monitor

Build the application:

make build

This will create an executable binary named mcp-monitor in your project directory.

Configuration

The System Monitor can be run in different modes:

Standard mode: Communicates via stdio (standard input/output)
SSE transport: Runs as a server using Server-Sent Events

To run the monitor in standard mode:

./mcp-monitor

The server will start and be ready to communicate with an MCP-compatible LLM client.

Usage Examples

Once connected to your AI assistant, you can ask for various system metrics:

"What's my current CPU usage?"
"How much memory is my system using?"
"Show me the top processes by CPU usage"
"What's the disk usage on my main drive?"
"Give me information about my network interfaces"
"What's my system uptime and host information?"

The AI will use the appropriate tools to fetch the requested information and present it in a readable format.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues:

Ensure you have the necessary permissions to access system information
Check that no firewalls are blocking the application
Verify that your AI assistant is properly configured to use the MCP server
