Background Task
Enables running and managing long-running background tasks from within Model Context Protocol (MCP) compatible clients.
About
This Model Context Protocol (MCP) server facilitates the execution and oversight of long-running background processes directly from applications like Claude Desktop or other MCP-compatible clients. It allows users to launch, monitor, interact with, and gracefully terminate command-line tools, development servers, build processes, and other persistent tasks without blocking the client's main interface. The server ensures comprehensive management, including process monitoring, real-time output capture, and interactive communication, enabling seamless integration of complex workflows.
