Description

This project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and client to run safe, informational Linux commands remotely via Claude Desktop. It includes server and client builds, PM2 process management instructions, and guidance for configuring Claude Desktop to use the server. The server is intended for non-interactive commands (it cannot run interactive sudo) and emphasizes privacy and safety by recommending only non-sensitive queries. Useful for gathering system diagnostics like kernel version, disk usage, uptime, memory, and network interfaces.
