Docker

docker build -t system-monitor-mcp .
docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock system-monitor-mcp

🛠️ Tools

Tool Description Returns
get_system_load() CPU, memory, swap usage CPU%, Memory%, Swap%, Load avg
get_process_list() Running processes sorted by CPU/memory PID, name, CPU%, memory%, status
get_disk_usage() Disk usage per mount point Mount, total, used, available, usage%
get_docker_status() Docker container status Container name, status, uptime, ports, image
tail_log(path, lines) Tail log files Last N lines with timestamps

💡 Use Cases

  • Self-monitoring — AI agents that monitor their own infrastructure
  • DevOps automation — Deploy, restart, and manage services autonomously
  • Incident response — Detect and diagnose issues in real-time
  • Resource optimization — Analyze usage patterns and suggest cost savings

📋 Requirements

  • Python 3.10+
  • Linux (most features) / macOS (partial) / Windows (limited)
  • Docker (optional — for container monitoring)
  • psutil, mcp, docker-py

🔐 Security

  • Read-only by design — no kill/rm/create operations exposed
  • No root required — runs with user-level permissions
  • Sandboxed log access — path traversal protection built in
