mcp-linux-tools
Administer a Linux server from an MCP client such as Cursor or VS Code: read files and tail logs, check/reload/restart systemd services, manage cron jobs inside a dedicated crontab section, run read-only MySQL queries, drive WP-CLI on WordPress sites, run safe Git commands, and execute sandboxed Python. Directories, services and WordPress sites are allowlisted in `config.json`, and every tool returns a uniform `{success, data, error, meta}` response. Runs as a systemd service over HTTP.
