What it does

Dev Server Manager is a utility designed to simplify the process of running multiple development servers simultaneously without the headache of port collisions. It acts as a daemon that manages the lifecycle of dev servers, allocating unique ports (starting from 3010) and providing a centralized way to start, stop, and monitor these processes via an MCP interface.

Tools

start: Launches a development server using a specified shell command and working directory, returning a unique session key and port.
stop: Terminates a running development server session using its session key.
status: Retrieves the current state of all active server sessions or a specific one.
tail: Streams the stdout and stderr logs from a server session via a 512KB ring buffer.

Installation

To use this server, first start the daemon in your terminal:

npx -y dev-manager-mcp

Then add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:

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