概览
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides background process management capabilities. This server enables LLMs to start, stop, and monitor long-running command-line processes. Some AI agents, like Claude Code, can manage background processes natively, but many others can't. This project provides that capability as a standard tool for other agents like Google's Gemini CLI. It works as a separate service, making long-running task management available to a wider range of agents. I also added a TUI because I wanted to be able to monitor the processes myself. To get started, install the Background Process MCP server in your preferred client. This configuration works for most MCP clients: To connect to a standalone server, add the --port argument to the args array (e.g., ...mcp@latest", "--port", "31337"]). Use the Claude Code CLI to add the Background Process MCP server: Follow the MCP install guide, use the standard config above. Create or edit the configuration file ~/.

Background Process MCP
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides background process management capabilities. This server enables LLMs to start, stop, and monitor long-running command-line processes.
Motivation
Some AI agents, like Claude Code, can manage background processes natively, but many others can’t. This project provides that capability as a standard tool for other agents like Google’s Gemini CLI. It works as a separate service, making long-running task management available to a wider range of agents. I also added a TUI because I wanted to be able to monitor the processes myself.

Getting Started
To get started, install the Background Process MCP server in your preferred client.
Standard Config
This configuration works for most MCP clients:
{
"mcpServers": {
"backgroundProcess": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"@waylaidwanderer/background-process-mcp@latest"
]
}
}
}
To connect to a standalone server, add the --port argument to the args array (e.g., ...mcp@latest", "--port", "31337"]).
Click the button to install:
