Description

The mcp-server-restart package provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows users to restart the Claude Desktop application on Mac. It safely terminates the existing Claude process and launches a new instance, providing progress notifications during the restart. This simplifies applying changes after installing MCP tools by enabling restart commands via Claude Desktop itself.
