Linux MCP Server

Most knowledge and memory work still happens through a UI a human drives. Linux MCP MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Linux MCP server for real-time system monitoring - CPU, memory, disk, network, processes, Docker.

The short version

A Linux system monitoring server built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Provides real-time system information - CPU, memory, disk, network, processes, Docker, and more - via MCP tools over STDIO transport.

• System — - hostname, OS, kernel, architecture, uptime, load averages
• CPU — - usage, model, frequency, core counts, temperature sensors
• Memory — - RAM and swap usage with percentages
• Disk — - per-partition usage, inodes, mount options, largest files, block devices
• Network — - interface stats, active connections, listening ports, DNS, ping, IP geolocation & ASN lookup
• Processes — - running processes sorted by CPU or memory, open file descriptors per process

What it needs from you

• Go 1.26+ (to build from source) - Linux (the server targets Linux; some tools use Linux-specific paths) - Docker (optional - only needed for Docker tools)

Getting it running

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.

How it compares

This sits in the knowledge and memory group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. It is maintained by Mohabdo21; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Things to watch

• It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
• Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
