What is the Procm MCP MCP server?

Procm MCP MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Procm MCP directly instead of describing what you should do. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for process management.

What the assistant can call

Once Procm MCP is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • allow-start — process Allow specific processes to be created
  • start — process Start a new process with specified script and arguments
  • delete — process Stop and remove a process by ID.The default signal is SIGTERM, but SIGKILL(force killing) will be sent after 10 seconds unless the process
  • restart — process Restart an existing process by ID
  • get-process — info Get detailed information about a process
  • list — processes List all currently managed processes

Setting it up

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.

Choosing this one

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Procm MCP's toolset — allow-start, start, delete and 3 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by coder-ka; 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We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Before you rely on it

  • 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.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the procm mcp mcp server does with a few real requests.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Procm MCP to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 6 tools (allow-start, start, delete, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Procm MCP directly.
