What is the portcheck MCP server?
See which process holds a port, find free ports, and stop a dev server safely. It is made by @roystondwork-dev and listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.roystondwork-dev/portcheck. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI apps like Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor use outside tools.
How do I add portcheck to Claude?
In Claude Code, run: claude mcp add portcheck -- npx -y portcheck-cli@0.11.0
How do I add portcheck to ChatGPT?
ChatGPT only connects to remote MCP servers, and portcheck runs on your own computer. Use it from Claude, Cursor or another app that runs local servers.
How do I add portcheck to Cursor?
Open Cursor settings, go to MCP, choose "Add new MCP server" (or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json) and add: { "mcpServers": { "portcheck": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "portcheck-cli@0.11.0" ] } } }
Does portcheck work right now?
It runs on your own computer, so it works once you install it. There is no remote server for us to check.
