## Description

MCP server that enables Claude Code to manage long-running development processes like Next.js, Convex, and other dev servers through a process manager with proper cleanup and logging. Built by Brennan Cheung using TypeScript and the MCP SDK, the implementation provides tools for restarting processes, retrieving logs, stopping all processes, and listing process status, with robust process group management that ensures child processes are properly terminated when stopping parent processes. Features comprehensive error handling with specific error messages for common issues like missing commands or permission problems, log buffering with memory protection, and graceful shutdown handling that prevents orphaned processes when Claude Code exits, making it valuable for developers who need reliable process management during development workflows without manual terminal juggling.
