What it does
Pitchfork is a CLI tool designed for managing background daemons with a focus on developer experience. It allows users to start, stop, and monitor services with automatic directory-based hooks and dependency management. By exposing its functionality via an MCP server, it enables AI assistants (like Claude and Cursor) to manage your local development environment, launch services, and monitor logs autonomously.
Tools
start_daemon: Launches a specified daemon defined in the project configuration.stop_daemon: Gracefully shuts down a running background process.list_daemons: Retrieves the current status and health of all configured daemons.get_logs: Streams or fetches logs for a specific background service.restart_daemon: Triggers a restart of a daemon, typically used after configuration changes.
