PortScope

CLI that shows and manages everything running on your dev machine's ports, with AI chat.

Pluginfreeglobal

PortScope is a CLI tool that shows everything running on a developer's local ports -- dev servers, databases, daemons -- in one interactive control plane, with commands to inspect, kill, pause, resume, or restart any process and a live watch mode for memory, connections, and throughput. It supports natural-language commands and can run as an MCP server for AI agents like Claude Desktop, aimed at developers tired of manually hunting down which process is occupying a given port.
