ProcMon-MCP: Bringing Windows Process Monitoring to AI Agents
Windows systems remain a primary target for attackers. Traditional monitoring tools often fall short when tracking all attack vectors in real-time.
The Problem: Giving AI Agents "Eyes"
The core challenge is conceptual: how do we give AI agents the same visibility that experienced security analysts have?
What ProcMon-MCP Does
ProcMon-MCP (by 0xhackerfren) implements the Model Context Protocol to provide AI agents access to two critical Windows mechanisms:
- Process Monitoring - Real-time tracking of process creation, termination, and file I/O
- ETW Tracing - Event Tracing for Windows, built-in infrastructure for detailed event collection ETW has historically required deep API knowledge and manual configuration. This project changes that by making these capabilities accessible through a standardized protocol. ## Approach: Standardization, Not Reinvention The project doesn't try to reinvent monitoring. Instead, it standardizes the interaction - the same tools analysts use manually become available through MCP. This allows AI agents to integrate into actual incident response workflows. The idea of giving AI not just data, but the actual tooling that live specialists use, seems logical. --- GitHub: https://github.com/0xhackerfren/ProcMon-MCP
