appcontrol-mcp-go

Overview

The AppControl MCP server connects AI agents and IDEs like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf to system history data from the AppControl Windows app. It allows users to ask questions about applications using CPU, GPU, RAM, disk resources, and causes of system issues like slowdowns or heat spikes. The server exposes 9 read-only tools for querying binaries, processes, publishers, rules, security events, and resource metrics without modifying system configurations.
