dev-manager-mcp

MCP Dev Server Manager — manage development servers via npx.

Installation & Usage

Requirements: Node.js >= 18

The recommended way to use dev-manager-mcp is via npx:

Quick Start

Make sure the daemon is running in a terminal somewhere:

npx -y dev-manager-mcp

Add this MCP config to your coding CLI:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dev-manager": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["dev-manager-mcp", "stdio"]
    }
  }
}

Finally, ask your coding CLI to start a dev server. You should see it use the MCP server.

Options

• --daemon-url <URL> - Connect to daemon at specific URL (default: http://127.0.0.1:3009/sse)
• PORT=<port> - Set daemon port when starting daemon mode (e.g., PORT=3010 npx -y dev-manager-mcp daemon)
• Version pinning: npx [email protected] stdio
