README
MCP server for managing long-running processes and logs. Enables AI agents (Claude Code) to start, stop, and monitor processes with real-time log capture.
Tiếng Việt
Tính năng
- Khởi động/Dừng Process - Chạy các process dài và tắt chúng một cách an toàn
- Ghi Log thời gian thực - Tất cả stdout/stderr được tự động ghi vào file log
- Tìm kiếm Log - Tìm log theo từ khóa hoặc regex
- Quản lý Process - Liệt kê các process đang chạy
- Log Rotation - Tự động xoay log khi đạt 10MB để tránh đầy ổ đĩa
- Tắt an toàn - Tất cả process được dọn dẹp khi server dừng
Cài đặt
Yêu cầu

Cấu hình Claude Code
Thêm vào file .claude.json của Claude Code:
Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.claude.json
macOS/Linux: ~/.claude.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-terminal": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["C:/đường-dẫn/đến/mcp-terminal/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
Cấu hình OpenCode
Thêm vào file opencode.json của OpenCode:
Đường dẫn mặc định: ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json
{
"mcp": {
"mcp-terminal": {
"type": "local",
"command": ["node", "/đường-dẫn/đến/mcp-terminal/dist/index.js"],
"environment": {},
"timeout": 5000
}
}
}

Features
- Start/Stop Processes - Launch long-running processes and terminate them gracefully
- Real-time Log Capture - All stdout/stderr automatically written to log files
- Log Search - Search logs by keyword or regex
- Process Management - List all running processes
- Log Rotation - Automatic rotation at 10MB to prevent disk exhaustion
- Graceful Shutdown - All processes cleaned up when server stops
Installation
Prerequisites
- Node.js >= 18
- npm
Steps
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/h004888/mcp_terminal_process.git
cd mcp-terminal
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Build
npm run build
Claude Code Configuration
Add to your Claude Code .claude.json:
Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.claude.json
macOS/Linux: ~/.claude.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-terminal": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["C:/path/to/mcp-terminal/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
After configuration, restart Claude Code to load the MCP server.
OpenCode Configuration
Add to your OpenCode opencode.json:
Default location: ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
"mcp": {
"mcp-terminal": {
"type": "local",
"command": ["node", "/path/to/mcp-terminal/dist/index.js"],
"environment": {},
"timeout": 5000,
"enabled": true
}
}
}
Example with full path (Windows):
{
"mcp": {
"mcp-terminal": {
"type": "local",
"command": ["node", "C:/Users/ADMIN/Downloads/mcp-terminal/dist/index.js"],
"environment": {},
"timeout": 5000,
"enabled": true
}
}
}
Example using npx (if published to npm):
{
"mcp": {
"mcp-terminal": {
"type": "local",
"command": ["npx", "-y", "mcp-terminal"],
"timeout": 5000,
"enabled": true
}
}
}
After configuration, restart OpenCode to load the MCP server.
Tools
start_process
Start a long-running process.
{
"id": "backend",
"command": "npm run dev",
"cwd": "C:/path/to/project"
}
Parameters:
id(required) - Unique process identifiercommand(required) - Command to executecwd(optional) - Working directory
stop_process
Stop a running process.
{
"id": "backend"
}
get_logs
Retrieve logs from a process.
{
"id": "backend",
"lines": 100
}
Parameters:
id(required) - Process identifierlines(optional) - Return last N lines only
search_logs
Search logs for a keyword or regex.
{
"id": "backend",
"keyword": "ERROR",
"regex": false
}
Parameters:
id(required) - Process identifierkeyword(required) - Search termregex(optional) - Use regex search (default: false)
list_processes
List all running processes.
{}
Returns all currently running processes with their IDs, status, command, and log file paths.
Usage Examples
Start a backend server
/mcp start_process {"id": "backend", "command": "npm run dev", "cwd": "C:/my-project"}
Check logs
/mcp get_logs {"id": "backend"}
Search for errors
/mcp search_logs {"id": "backend", "keyword": "Exception"}
List all processes
/mcp list_processes {}
Stop a process
/mcp stop_process {"id": "backend"}
Architecture
User (Claude Code) → MCP Protocol → MCP Server → Process Manager → logs/*.log
Components:
- MCP Server - Handles MCP protocol and exposes tools
- Process Manager - Spawns, tracks, and kills child processes
- Log Service - File-based log storage with 10MB rotation
Log Files
Logs are stored in the logs/ directory:
logs/{id}.log- Current active loglogs/{id}.1.log- Rotated log (oldest)- etc.
Logs are rotated when they exceed 10MB. Maximum 5 rotated files kept per process.
