Summary
The machine's own numbers, without a second terminal.
It answers the questions that usually send you to top and df in another window, which means the assistant reasoning about a slowdown is looking at the same figures you would. Temperature is the one tool whose answer depends on hardware — it reports sensors when the machine exposes them.
What it is
A read-only window onto the machine the server runs on. Each tool answers one question about current state, with caching in front so repeated asks do not re-measure, and it runs the same way on Windows, macOS and Linux.
What you get
- CPU usage, core counts, frequency and load average
- Virtual and swap memory statistics
- Disk usage across every mount, or for one path you name
- Network interface details and I/O counters
- The running process list, sorted and filtered the way you ask
- Boot time and uptime
- Temperature sensors and fan speeds, on hardware that reports them
Requirements
Uvx on your PATH — the documented install is uvx install mcp-system-info, with no account or key involved.
Setup effort
One command — uvx mcp-system-info
