Koskamo

whats-running-mcp

A community MCP server that provides live OS ground truth to AI agents by exposing running processes, listening TCP ports, loaded daemons, and system load statistics. It ensures agents verify state directly from the operating system rather than relying on potentially stale memory or documentation, supporting multi-agent environments by preventing collisions and identifying orphaned processes.
