SummaryAdminister 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.Developer toolkit: auto-detect stack for AI context files, catch port conflicts, validate .env schemas, spot docs drift, audit dependency licenses, and time coding tasks — 7 MCP tools, one install.
