First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (4)

### `list_servers` (~61 tokens)

List local dev servers

List the local dev servers currently listening — port, process, git branch, owner, and an idle hint. Read-only. Use it to answer 'what's running?', 'which server is on :3001?', or 'which worktree is serving this?'.

### `kill_port` (~36 tokens)

Kill the server on a port

Stop whatever dev server is listening on the given local port (frees it).

Input parameters:

- `port` (integer, required): The local port to free

### `alloc_port` (~65 tokens)

Get a collision-free port

Return a stable free port assigned to this git worktree, so parallel agents/worktrees don't collide on the same port (EADDRINUSE). Wire the returned port into the dev server's launch command.

Input parameters:

- `service` (string): Service name to allocate for (default: web)

### `free_port` (~84 tokens)

Get a free port to bind now

Return a single TCP port that is NOT currently in use, so you can bind a server without an EADDRINUSE collision. Stateless — for a STABLE port that's remembered per worktree across restarts, use alloc_port instead.

Input parameters:

- `range` (string): Port range to search, e.g. 8000-8099 (default 3000-3999)
