<a id="tools"></a>
## Tools

The following tools are exposed to MCP clients:

- `process_list`: Lists running processes sorted by CPU or memory with optional name, user, status, CPU/memory thresholds, system-process filtering, sort order and limit
- `process_kill`: Terminates the selected process (with extreme prejudice!)

<a id="requirements"></a>
## Requirements

* MCP-compatible LLM client (like [Claude Desktop](https://claude.ai/download) or [Cursor](https://cursor.com))
* OS: macOS/Windows/Linux
* Python 3.13 or higher
* [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv)
* Libraries: `mcp` `psutil`

<a id="installation"></a>
## Installation

You can install `kill-process-mcp` in two ways:

1. **Preferred:** use `uvx` - no cloning or setup needed.  
2. **Alternative:** clone the repo and set up manually.

### 1. Install uv (required for both methods)

Install [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) if missing:

```sh
pip install uv

# or on macOS: 
brew install uv
```

In case of the preferred `uvx` method you can now [configure your MCP client](#3-configure-mcp-client) (skip the cloning step below).

### 2. Clone the repo and install (only required for alternative mode, skip for uvx)…
