Project description

System Info MCP Server

npm version PyPI version License: MIT

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides real-time system information for Claude Desktop. Available in both Node.js and Python with identical functionality.

🚀 Quick Start

Choose your preferred implementation:

Option 1: Node.js with npx (Recommended)

# Test instantly
npx @system-info/mcp-server@latest --test

Option 2: Python with pipx

# Test instantly  
pipx run system-info-mcp-server --test

Both work identically! Choose based on your preference.

🔧 Claude Desktop Configuration

Node.js Implementation

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "system-info": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@system-info/mcp-server@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Python Implementation

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "system-info": {
      "command": "pipx",

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
  • Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

✨ Features (Both Implementations)

  • 📊 CPU Information: Usage, cores, frequency, temperature
  • 💾 Memory Status: RAM usage, swap, availability
  • 💿 Disk Usage: Storage space across all drives
  • 🔄 Process Management: Running processes with sorting
  • 🖥️ System Overview: OS details, uptime, hardware
  • 🌐 Network Information: Interfaces, connections
  • ⚡ Quick Stats: Instant system health overview

🎯 Which Should You Choose?

Choose Node.js if:

  • ✅ You want the fastest performance
  • ✅ You prefer JavaScript/TypeScript
  • ✅ You want minimal memory usage
