DESCRIPTION
Glances is a cross-platform, open-source system monitoring tool written in Python that serves as an advanced alternative to traditional utilities like top or htop.
It provides real-time metrics for CPU, memory, disks, network, processes, containers, and hardware sensors through an intuitive terminal, web UI, or REST API dashboard.
Additionally, it supports remote client/server architectures and features an integrated Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so AI assistants can directly query system states.
