Procm
Expose local process start, stop, and supervision to your coding agent so dev servers, workers, and scripts are managed through MCP instead of manual terminals.
Overview
Procm is an Operate-phase MCP server that lets agents manage local OS processes through the Model Context Protocol.
What is this MCP server?
- MCP server focused on process management for agent-driven dev and ops tasks
- npm package procm-mcp v0.0.43 with stdio transport
- Title Procm in server metadata—lightweight supervision from the agent session
- Fits solo workflows where one person juggles API, frontend, and worker processes locally
- Complements shell skills by giving structured MCP tools instead of ad-hoc pkill patterns
- Server version 0.0.43 in server.json
- npm identifier procm-mcp with stdio transport
- Published title Procm in MCP metadata

What problem does it solve?
Agents restart dev stacks with brittle shell commands that are hard to audit and easy to get wrong on a solo machine.
Who is it for?
Solo builders who run multiple local services and want the agent to start or stop them predictably during develop-and-debug loops.
Skip if: Production cluster orchestration, untrusted multi-tenant hosts, or teams that forbid agents from touching OS processes.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Once Procm is registered, your agent can use MCP process-management tools to supervise the processes you allow on that host.
- Registered Procm stdio MCP server
- Agent-accessible process management on the configured host
- More repeatable local start/stop workflows during development

Journey fit
Canonical shelf is Operate → infra because process management is how you keep local and small-scale runtime environments running reliably. Infra subphase covers the plumbing—processes, daemons, and tooling—that solo builders operate without a platform team.
How it compares
Local process-management MCP server, not a full container platform or remote PaaS deploy integration.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Procm for?
Developers using MCP agents who need dependable local process supervision while building and operating small apps alone.
When should I use Procm?
Use it when your agent routinely starts dev servers, workers, or scripts and you want structured process tools instead of repeated manual terminal commands.
How do I add Procm to my agent?
Add a stdio MCP entry for the procm-mcp npm package in your agent configuration and restart the client on the machine where processes run.
