How Procm compares
Against every graded AI and agents MCP server, from our own scans and uptime checks. Updated after each scan run.

Install Procm in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code
Runs npx -y procm-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

What the publisher says
From the Procm repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
procm-mcp
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for process management.
Supported features
- Secure and automatable process creation
- Cleanup created processes automatically on termination (e.g. exiting claude code)
- Common process management features supported, restarting, deleting, checking status or retreving stdout/stderr of processes
Using these features, LLMs start processes like development servers, docker-compose, or test watchers and check their outputs to fix bugs automatically.
Installation
npm i -D procm-mcp.mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"procm-mcp": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["./node_modules/procm-mcp/build/index.js"],
"env": {}
}
}
}Secure process creation
You can permit LLMs to use start-process tool without confirmation, because procm-mcp only allow whitelisted process creations.
LLMs will ask you to use allow-start-process tool to add specific process creation to the whitelist.
Once you allow a process creation, you don't have to confirming it anymore as long as the command and the working directory are the same.
I call it "allow-x pattern", which can balances security and usability in MCP.
Warning: Do not permit LLMs to use allow-start-process without confirmation.That means "Do anything you want to".
