mcp-daemonize
by mackee
Manage and monitor long-running background processes like dev servers directly via AI agents.
What it does
mcp-daemonize allows AI agents to orchestrate persistent background processes that would otherwise block the agent's execution loop. It is specifically designed for development servers (like Vite or Next.js) that must run continuously while the agent performs other tasks.
Tools
daemonize_start: Launches a process as a daemon in a specified directory.daemonize_stop: Terminates a running daemon by its name.daemonize_list: Lists all active background daemons.daemonize_logs: Fetches real-time logs from a running process for autonomous debugging.
Installation
Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"daemonize": {
"command": "mcp-daemonize",
"args": [],
"env": {}
}
}
}
(Note: Ensure the binary is in your PATH or provide the absolute path)
Supported hosts
Confirmed for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Cline.
