This MCP server provides up-to-date information about your operating system. You can run it locally so your MCP client can request OS data on demand, helping you build responsive system monitoring and status dashboards.

How to use

You run a local MCP server that reports your operating system details. In your MCP client workflow, start the MVP servers you configured and then query them for information such as OS name, version, architecture, and other relevant details. Use the appropriate server endpoint from your MCP client configuration and make requests as you would for any other data source. You can rely on the two local runtime options shown below to start the server processes.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Node.js installed on your machine. Optionally, you may use npx for a quick, no-install startup.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "os-info": {
        "command": "path_to_your_node",
        "args": [
            "location_to_your_dist/index.js"
        ]
    }
  }
}

If you prefer using npx for a quick start without a local install, you can configure the MCP server like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "os-info": {
        "command": "path_to_your_npx",
        "args": [
            "os-info-mcp-server"
        ]
    }
  }
}

Additional sections

These configurations are intended to be run locally and are designed for flexibility in how you start and manage the OS info MCP server. You can choose either the Node.js path or the NPX shortcut, depending on your environment and preference.
