Simple Commands
Execute developer commands and manage long-running processes efficiently through a configuration-driven Model Context Protocol server.
About
Simple Commands offers a robust Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that empowers AI assistants to interact with custom system commands and manage complex long-running processes. By defining tools in a simple JSON configuration file, users can quickly set up one-shot commands or robust daemons. The server intelligently handles process lifecycle, providing automatic start, stop, status, and logging for daemonized tasks, ensuring all processes are gracefully terminated upon client disconnection. This cross-platform tool streamlines development workflows by centralizing command execution and process supervision.
