An MCP server to run arbitrary commands
If you already use Commands, the commands mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. An MCP server to run arbitrary commands.
The runProcess tool runs processes on the host machine. There are two mutually exclusive ways to invoke it:
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
run_process — run a command, i.e. hostname or ls -al or echo "hello world" etcLogging — Claude Desktop app writes logs to ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp-server-mcp-server-commands.logDebugging — Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the [MCPInstallation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at mcp-server-commands on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Among the monitoring and observability options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Commands's toolset — run_process, Logging, Debugging — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by g0t4; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| run_process | run a command, i.e. hostname or ls -al or echo "hello world" etc |
| Logging | Claude Desktop app writes logs to ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp-server-mcp-server-commands.log |
| Debugging | Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the [MCP Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector), which is available as a package script: |
{
"mcpServers": {
"server-commands": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-server-commands"]
}
}
}Add to claude_desktop_config.json, then restart Claude Desktop.
