**SysFlow MCP** is a zero-dependency Linux administration and diagnostics Model Context Protocol server for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and Antigravity. It exposes host CPU/RAM/disk metrics, path-guarded log tailing, `systemd --user` service and timer inspection, validated unit generation, TCP port auditing, and timeout-bounded argv command execution.

---

## Quickstart

Run directly via `uvx`:

```bash
uvx sysflow-mcp
```

Claude Desktop / Cursor configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sysflow-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["sysflow-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

## Core Capabilities

1. **System Resource Telemetry:** Reads CPU load averages, `/proc/meminfo` memory usage, and root partition utilization without requiring root privileges.
2. **Path-Guarded Log Tailer:** Reads backward in chunks from `/var/log`, `/tmp`, or configured `SYSFLOW_LOG_DIRS`, filtering regex matches before slicing and rejecting binary files or sensitive dotfiles (`.env`, `.ssh`, `.git/config`).
3. **Systemd User Plane Inspection:** Lists `systemd --user` services, failed units, and scheduled tim…
