Systems-Manager

Version: 1.1.13

Systems-Manager is a powerful CLI and MCP server tool to manage your system across multiple operating systems. It supports updating, installing, and optimizing applications, managing Windows features, installing Nerd Fonts, and retrieving system and hardware statistics. It now supports Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat, Oracle Linux, SLES, Arch, and Windows, with Snap fallback for Linux application installations.

This repository is actively maintained - Contributions are welcome!

Features

• Multi-OS Support: Works on Windows, Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat, Oracle Linux, SLES, and Arch.

Using as an MCP Server

The MCP Server can be run in two modes: stdio (for local testing) or http (for networked access). To start the server, use the following commands:

Run in stdio mode (default):

systems-manager-mcp --transport "stdio"

Run in HTTP mode:

systems-manager-mcp --transport "http"  --host "0.0.0.0"  --port "8000"

Dependencies

The following Python packages are automatically installed if missing:

• distro: For Linux distribution detection.
• psutil: For system and hardware statistics.
• requests: For downloading Nerd Fonts.
• fastmcp: For MCP server functionality (required for systems-manager-mcp).

Deploy MCP Server as a Service

The MCP server can be deployed using Docker, with configurable authentication, middleware, and Eunomia authorization.

Using Docker Run

docker pull knucklessg1/systems-manager:latest

docker run -d \
  --name systems-manager-mcp \
  -p 8004:8004 \
  -e HOST=0.0.0.0 \
  -e PORT=8004 \
  -e TRANSPORT=http \
  -e AUTH_TYPE=none \
  -e EUNOMIA_TYPE=none \
  knucklessg1/systems-manager:latest

For advanced authentication (e.g., JWT, OAuth Proxy, OIDC Proxy, Remote OAuth) or Eunomia, add the relevant environment variables:

docker run -d \
  --name systems-manager-mcp \
  -p 8004:8004 \
  -e HOST=0.0.0.0 \
  -e PORT=8004 \
  -e TRANSPORT=http \
  -e AUTH_TYPE=oidc-proxy \
  -e OIDC_CONFIG_URL=https://provider.com/.well-known/openid-configuration \
  -e OIDC_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id \
  -e OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret \
  -e OIDC_BASE_URL=https://your-server.com \
  -e ALLOWED_CLIENT_REDIRECT_URIS=http://localhost:*,https://*.example.com/* \
  -e EUNOMIA_TYPE=embedded \
  -e EUNOMIA_POLICY_FILE=/app/mcp_policies.json \
  knucklessg1/systems-manager:latest

Using Docker Compose

Create a docker-compose.yml file:

services:
  systems-manager-mcp:
    image: knucklessg1/systems-manager:latest
    environment:
      - HOST=0.0.0.0
      - PORT=8004
      - TRANSPORT=http
      - AUTH_TYPE=none
      - EUNOMIA_TYPE=none
    ports:
      - 8004:8004

For advanced setups with authentication and Eunomia:

services:
  systems-manager-mcp:
    image: knucklessg1/systems-manager:latest
    environment:
      - HOST=0.0.0.0
      - PORT=8004
      - TRANSPORT=http
      - AUTH_TYPE=oidc-proxy
      - OIDC_CONFIG_URL=https://provider.com/.well-known/openid-configuration
      - OIDC_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
      - OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
      - OIDC_BASE_URL=https://your-server.com
      - ALLOWED_CLIENT_REDIRECT_URIS=http://localhost:*,https://*.example.com/*
      - EUNOMIA_TYPE=embedded
      - EUNOMIA_POLICY_FILE=/app/mcp_policies.json
    ports:
      - 8004:8004
    volumes:
      - ./mcp_policies.json:/app/mcp_policies.json

Run the service:

docker-compose up -d
