## Description

This configuration-driven MCP server by Nick Strayer enables AI assistants to execute predefined developer commands and manage long-running processes through a simple JSON configuration file. The implementation automatically generates control tools for daemon processes (_start, _status, _stop, _logs), handles process monitoring with PID tracking and output buffering, and provides automatic cleanup when clients disconnect. Built with TypeScript and designed for cross-platform compatibility, it serves development teams who need AI assistants to run build scripts, start development servers, execute tests, and manage local development environments without requiring code changes to add new commands.
