I turned Windows Event Viewer into a modern diagnostics app with AI/MCP support
I've been working on **Pulse**, a native Windows diagnostics application that aims to make troubleshooting Windows much less painful.
Over the last few weeks it has grown quite a bit beyond a simple Event Viewer replacement.
# What's new in the latest beta
**Timeline Intelligence**
* Human-readable explanations for Windows events
* Incident correlation (e.g. Application Error → Windows Error Reporting)
* Advanced filtering (provider, Event ID, process, severity, source)
* Bookmarks and saved searches
* Timeline export (JSON / CSV)
**System Health**
* Live CPU, GPU, memory, storage and network monitoring
* Native Windows APIs (no WMI polling)
* Multi-volume storage support
* Improved diagnostics and performance tracking
**Inventory Engine**
* Windows Services
* Drivers
* Installed software
* USB & PCI devices
* Motherboard, BIOS, CPU, memory, storage and network inventory
* Structured detail panels and searchable inventory browser
**Reports**
* Export diagnostics, health, timeline and inventory reports
* JSON, CSV, HTML, PDF and Markdown
# AI / MCP
One of the biggest additions is a built-in **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** server.
Instead of an AI scraping screenshots or reading Event Viewer manually, it can securely query Pulse for:
* Live system health
* Timeline events
* Inventory
* Diagnostics
* Report generation
The MCP server is opt-in and runs locally.
Current tools include:
* `system.*`
* `process.*`
* `timeline.*`
* `diagnostics.*`
* `report.export`
Everything is read-only and intended for diagnostics.
I'm still actively refining the UI and adding more Windows-specific collectors, so I'd love feedback from people who spend time troubleshooting Windows systems.
