Tính năng

• Khởi động/Dừng Process - Chạy các process dài và tắt chúng một cách an toàn
• Ghi Log thời gian thực - Tất cả stdout/stderr được tự động ghi vào file log
• Tìm kiếm Log - Tìm log theo từ khóa hoặc regex
• Quản lý Process - Liệt kê các process đang chạy
• Log Rotation - Tự động xoay log khi đạt 10MB để tránh đầy ổ đĩa
• Tắt an toàn - Tất cả process được dọn dẹp khi server dừng

Cấu hình Claude Code

Thêm vào file .claude.json của Claude Code:

Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.claude.json macOS/Linux: ~/.claude.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-terminal": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["C:/đường-dẫn/đến/mcp-terminal/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Cấu hình OpenCode

Thêm vào file opencode.json của OpenCode:

Đường dẫn mặc định: ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json

Features

• Start/Stop Processes - Launch long-running processes and terminate them gracefully
• Real-time Log Capture - All stdout/stderr automatically written to log files
• Log Search - Search logs by keyword or regex
• Process Management - List all running processes
• Log Rotation - Automatic rotation at 10MB to prevent disk exhaustion
• Graceful Shutdown - All processes cleaned up when server stops

Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js >= 18
• npm

Steps

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/h004888/mcp_terminal_process.git
cd mcp-terminal

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build
npm run build

Claude Code Configuration

Add to your Claude Code .claude.json:

Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.claude.json macOS/Linux: ~/.claude.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-terminal": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["C:/path/to/mcp-terminal/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

After configuration, restart Claude Code to load the MCP server.

OpenCode Configuration

Add to your OpenCode opencode.json:

Default location: ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "mcp-terminal": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["node", "/path/to/mcp-terminal/dist/index.js"],
      "environment": {},
      "timeout": 5000,
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

Example with full path (Windows):

{
  "mcp": {
    "mcp-terminal": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["node", "C:/Users/ADMIN/Downloads/mcp-terminal/dist/index.js"],
      "environment": {},
      "timeout": 5000,
       "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

Example using npx (if published to npm):

{
  "mcp": {
    "mcp-terminal": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["npx", "-y", "mcp-terminal"],
      "timeout": 5000,
       "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

After configuration, restart OpenCode to load the MCP server.

Tools

start_process

Start a long-running process.

{
  "id": "backend",
  "command": "npm run dev",
  "cwd": "C:/path/to/project"
}

Parameters:

• id (required) - Unique process identifier
• command (required) - Command to execute
• cwd (optional) - Working directory

---

stop_process

Stop a running process.

{
  "id": "backend"
}

---

get_logs

Retrieve logs from a process.

{
  "id": "backend",
  "lines": 100
}

Parameters:

• id (required) - Process identifier
• lines (optional) - Return last N lines only

---

search_logs

Search logs for a keyword or regex.

{
  "id": "backend",
  "keyword": "ERROR",
  "regex": false
}

Parameters:

• id (required) - Process identifier
• keyword (required) - Search term
• regex (optional) - Use regex search (default: false)

---

list_processes

List all running processes.

{}

Returns all currently running processes with their IDs, status, command, and log file paths.

Usage Examples

Start a backend server

/mcp start_process {"id": "backend", "command": "npm run dev", "cwd": "C:/my-project"}

Check logs

/mcp get_logs {"id": "backend"}

Search for errors

/mcp search_logs {"id": "backend", "keyword": "Exception"}

List all processes

/mcp list_processes {}

Stop a process

/mcp stop_process {"id": "backend"}

Architecture

User (Claude Code) → MCP Protocol → MCP Server → Process Manager → logs/*.log

Components:

• MCP Server - Handles MCP protocol and exposes tools
• Process Manager - Spawns, tracks, and kills child processes
• Log Service - File-based log storage with 10MB rotation

Log Files

Logs are stored in the logs/ directory:

• logs/{id}.log - Current active log
• logs/{id}.1.log - Rotated log (oldest)
• etc.

Logs are rotated when they exceed 10MB. Maximum 5 rotated files kept per process.
