localhost-mcp

localhost-mcp MCP server CI npm version License: MIT

MCP server that inspects, manages, and kills local dev servers. Stop guessing what's on :3000.

demo

Pairs with terminal-history-mcp — together they give your AI agent full memory of your dev environment: what you ran, what's running.

Why

Every dev hits these daily:

  • Error: listen EADDRINUSE :::3000 — what's holding the port?

  • 5 forgotten node / vite / next PIDs from last week eating RAM

  • Switching projects → no idea which dev servers still running

  • lsof -i :3000, kill -9 <pid>, repeat

localhost-mcp makes it one tool call.

Related MCP server: devpulse-mcp

Install

npm install -g localhost-mcp

Wire into Claude Code:

claude mcp add --scope user localhost -- localhost-mcp

Or any MCP-compatible client. The command runs as a stdio MCP server.

Tools

Tool

Purpose

list_dev_servers

All listening dev servers w/ port, pid, framework, project, uptime, mem, cpu

port_info

Inspect single port — who holds it

kill_server

Kill by pid or port. Dry-run by default; pass confirm=true to execute

find_zombies

Detect long-running, idle, memory-heavy dev servers

port_conflict

Why is port X busy + 5 free alternatives nearby

Sample output

{
  "port": 3000,
  "pid": 48211,
  "process": "node",
  "cmdline": "next dev",
  "cwd": "/Users/me/code/myapp",
  "project_name": "myapp",
  "framework": "next.js",
  "uptime_seconds": 14523,
  "memory_mb": 412,
  "cpu_pct": 0.3,
  "user": "me"
}

Safety

  • kill_server defaults to dry-run. Must pass confirm=true.

  • Refuses to kill PIDs < 1000 (system processes).

  • Refuses processes outside the dev whitelist (node, python, ruby, go, deno, bun, php, java, rails, vite, next, etc).

  • SIGTERM first, escalates to SIGKILL after 5s timeout.

Frameworks detected

next.js, vite, nuxt, remix, astro, webpack-dev-server, esbuild, create-react-app, express, fastify, koa, hono, rails, django, flask, fastapi, uvicorn, gunicorn, deno, bun, php-builtin, jekyll, hugo.

Falls back to package.json sniffing when the cmdline is generic (node server.js).

Platform support

  • macOS — full support (uses lsof)

  • Linux — full support (uses lsof + /proc)

  • Windows — basic port scan only (uses netstat); cwd / framework detection limited

CLI usage

localhost-mcp list      # JSON list of all dev servers
localhost-mcp zombies   # JSON list of zombie candidates
localhost-mcp           # Start MCP stdio server

Available Tools

5 tools
find_zombiesA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Read-only. Flags dev servers that look abandoned — all three of: uptime > 6h AND CPU < 1% AND memory > 100MB. By default it excludes known always-on noise (VS Code server, language servers, other MCP servers, postgres/redis, sidekiq, etc.); set include_excluded: true to also list those. Each candidate comes with the reasons it matched. This tool never kills anything — pass results to kill_server. Returns { count, candidates[] }.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
include_excludedNoAlso include IDE/LSP/agent/DB processes that match the heuristic but are normally filtered out. Default false.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The description complements the annotations (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint) by explicitly stating 'Read-only' and 'This tool never kills anything'. It details the exact heuristic logic and default filtering behavior, adding substantial context beyond what annotations provide.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is highly concise, with three sentences packed with essential information. It front-loads core purpose, then covers behavior, parameter, safety, and output format without unnecessary words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's simplicity (single boolean parameter, clear heuristic), the description fully covers matching criteria, default exclusion behavior, the parameter's effect, relationship to sibling tools, and the return format. No gaps remain.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage for the single parameter (include_excluded) is 100%, and the schema already includes a thorough description. The tool description restates the parameter's effect but does not add significant new semantics beyond what the schema provides.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states that the tool flags dev servers that appear abandoned, and precisely defines the three matching criteria (uptime > 6h, CPU < 1%, memory > 100MB). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools by explicitly stating it never kills anything and that results should be passed to kill_server.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explains that the tool is read-only and should be used to identify candidates, while kill_server is for termination. It also describes the default exclusion of noise processes and the include_excluded parameter, giving clear guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

kill_serverA
Destructive

Terminates a local dev server by pid or port. DESTRUCTIVE. Safe by default: with no confirm, this is a DRY RUN — it reports what it would kill and changes nothing. Pass confirm: true to actually terminate: sends SIGTERM, waits up to 5s, then escalates to SIGKILL (or SIGKILL immediately if force: true). Refuses PIDs below 1000 and processes that don't look like dev servers. Provide exactly one of pid or port. Returns what was (or would be) killed and the signal used.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
pidNoProcess ID to kill. Mutually exclusive with `port`.
portNoTCP port whose listening process should be killed. Mutually exclusive with `pid`.
forceNoSkip SIGTERM and send SIGKILL immediately. Default false.
confirmNoMust be true to actually terminate the process. When false/omitted the call is a dry run.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Rich behavioral details beyond annotations: dry-run behavior, escalation from SIGTERM to SIGKILL with timeout, force flag effect, safety guardrails (refuses low PIDs and non-dev-server processes). Annotations provide destructiveHint, but description adds deep context without contradiction.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two dense, front-loaded sentences with zero redundancy. Every clause adds essential information (alternatives, safety, escalation, constraints).

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the presence of output schema (not shown) and annotations, the description covers behavior, constraints, safety mechanisms, and parameter relationships completely. No gaps for an AI agent to misunderstand.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema already describes all 4 parameters fully (100% coverage). The description adds value by contextualizing the mutex between pid/port, explaining the safe default behavior, and clarifying the effect of confirm vs force beyond the schema descriptions.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses active verbs ('terminates', 'reports', 'sends') and clearly specifies the resource ('local dev server') and scope ('by pid or port'). It distinguishes from siblings like list_dev_servers and find_zombies by focusing solely on termination.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly states 'Provide exactly one of pid or port' and explains the dry-run default and confirm requirement. While it doesn't contrast with siblings (not needed as they serve different purposes), it gives clear context for when to use this tool.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

list_dev_serversA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Read-only. Lists every local development server (next, vite, nuxt, remix, astro, rails, django, flask, express, deno, bun, etc.) currently LISTENING on a TCP port. For each: port, pid, process name, command line, working directory, project name, detected framework, uptime, memory (MB), CPU %, and owning user. Uses lsof on macOS/Linux and netstat on Windows; on Windows the cwd/framework fields are limited. Takes no arguments. Returns { count, servers[] }.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The description adds significant behavioral context beyond annotations: it is read-only, uses lsof/netstat based on OS, notes Windows limitations on cwd/framework fields, and details the full output schema. Annotations confirm read-only, and no contradictions exist.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is three sentences with no fluff. It starts with the purpose, lists output fields, and ends with platform details and return structure. Every sentence earns its place.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a no-parameter tool, the description is exhaustive. It covers platform differences, limitations, output format, and all fields. The output schema exists and is described. No gaps remain.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

There are no parameters; the description correctly states 'takes no arguments'. With 0 parameters, baseline is 4, and the description adds no extra param information but confirms the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool lists local development servers listening on TCP ports, with a specific verb 'lists' and resource 'dev servers'. It includes a long list of frameworks and distinguishes itself from siblings like find_zombies or kill_server by focusing on active listening servers.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage when one wants to enumerate dev servers, but does not explicitly state when to use it over alternatives like port_info or port_conflict. No exclusion criteria or alternative tool names are mentioned.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

port_conflictA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Read-only. Diagnoses an EADDRINUSE situation: given a port, returns the dev server currently blocking it plus 5 free alternative ports nearby. Use it when a listen EADDRINUSE error fires and you want both the culprit and a port to switch to.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
portYesThe contended TCP port, e.g. 3000.

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription
portNo
blocked_byNoThe dev-server record holding the port (see list_dev_servers), or null if actually free.
alternativesNoUp to 5 nearby free ports.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, destructiveHint false, and idempotentHint true. The description adds that it returns the blocking server and free ports, which is useful context beyond the annotations. No contradictions.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences: the first declares read-only behavior and functionality, the second provides usage guidance. No extraneous words; each sentence earns its place.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple tool with one parameter and an output schema, the description fully covers purpose, trigger condition, and return value. No gaps remain.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% for the single parameter. The description repeats the schema's description ('The contended TCP port, e.g. 3000.') without adding new meaning. Baseline 3 is appropriate since the schema already provides sufficient detail.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool diagnoses an EADDRINUSE situation by returning the blocking dev server and 5 free alternative ports. Its verb 'diagnose' and resource 'port conflict' are specific, and it distinguishes itself from sibling tools (e.g., kill_server, find_zombies) that serve different purposes.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explicitly advises using this tool when a 'listen EADDRINUSE' error occurs, specifying the desired outcome (culprit and free ports). While it doesn't list alternatives or when not to use, the context is clear enough for an agent to decide.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

port_infoA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Read-only. Inspects a single TCP port and reports the dev server holding it (same fields as list_dev_servers). If nothing is listening, or the listener is not a recognised dev process, returns { port, status: "free" }. Useful for answering "what's on :3000?" before starting or killing something.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
portYesTCP port number, 1–65535, e.g. 3000.

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription
portNo
statusNo

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, and openWorldHint=true. The description adds value by explaining the return format (same fields as `list_dev_servers`) and handling edge cases (nothing listening or not a recognised dev process). No contradiction with annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is three sentences, with the key verb 'Read-only' front-loaded. Every sentence adds necessary information: purpose, return format details, and usage scenario. No wasted words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the presence of annotations (read-only, idempotent, non-destructive) and an output schema (implied), the description is complete. It covers behavior for all inputs (port in range) and edge cases (free port, unrecognised process). The tool's scope is well-defined.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with a well-described parameter (port). The description adds 'TCP port number, 1–65535, e.g. 3000,' which mirrors the schema. Since the schema already does the heavy lifting, the description does not add significant new semantics beyond clarifying the example.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool inspects a single TCP port and reports the dev server holding it. It distinguishes from sibling tools like `list_dev_servers` (which lists all servers) and implies a specific function ('what's on :3000?').

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explicitly says 'Useful for answering "what's on :3000?" before starting or killing something,' which provides clear context for when to use. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use or list alternatives, though sibling tool names provide some guidance.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

A4.4/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: listing servers, inspecting a single port, finding zombies, killing servers, and diagnosing port conflicts. There is no functional overlap.

Naming Consistency4/5

Tool names use snake_case, and most follow a verb_noun pattern (find_zombies, kill_server, list_dev_servers). However, port_conflict and port_info are noun-first, which is a minor inconsistency.

Tool Count5/5

With 5 tools, the set is well-scoped for managing local dev servers: query, inspect, cleanup, and conflict resolution. No tool feels superfluous or missing.

Completeness4/5

The tools cover listing, inspecting, zombie identification, killing, and conflict diagnosis. There is a minor gap in that bulk operations (e.g., kill all zombies) are not directly supported, but the intended workflow is clear.
