概览

AI 生成的概览

本地 MCP 服务器,让助手查看哪个进程占用 TCP/UDP 端口、查找空闲端口、等待服务就绪,并安全停止开发服务器。

可以做什么
  • 检查端口是否空闲;被占用时报告占用进程的名称、PID、用户、命令行、启动者,以及发布该端口的 Docker 或 Podman 容器。
  • 列出本机监听端口,可按进程名或端口范围筛选。
  • 查找当前空闲的端口,通过实际绑定验证,可限定在某个范围内。
  • 等待端口开始接受连接,或等待端口变为空闲。
  • 按端口或 PID 停止进程:先请求正常退出,5 秒后强制结束。
适用场景
当开发服务器、数据库或测试因“address already in use”或 EADDRINUSE 失败时,可让助手找出占用者、释放端口或改用其他端口。也适合查看本机正在监听什么,或等待某个服务启动完成。
运行要求
以本地 stdio 进程运行,通常通过 npx portcheck-cli 启动;仅限桌面环境。未声明认证、环境变量或请求头。部分进程信息在权限不足时可能不可见。
安装前请注意
stop_process 会终止本机进程,执行前应确认目标,可先用 dry_run 预览;它拒绝停止系统进程和助手自身,无权限时也无法停止其他用户的进程。由容器发布的端口只会返回停止命令,而不会被直接结束。

安装

在 SourceWeft 中

  1. 打开 控制台中的 portcheck,将其添加到工作区。
  2. 为需要使用其工具的对话启用该服务。

Desktop only,通过 STDIO。 STDIO 服务会启动本地进程,因此需要 SourceWeft 桌面宿主。

其他 MCP 客户端

参照 仓库 中的启动说明。

[portcheck demo]

Port already in use?

sh
npx portcheck-cli kill 3000

portcheck shows what holds the port and who started it, asks, then stops it gently (and never touches system processes). It's a safer kill-port, with nothing to install first.

Fixes for the error you're seeing: Node.js, Next.js, Vite · Python, Django, Flask · Docker · Rails, Spring Boot, Go, .NET, PHP · macOS · Windows · Linux

VS Code extension

When a dev server fails because its port is taken, the extension says who holds it and fixes it: stop it and re-run, or re-run on the next free port.

[portcheck in VS Code: npm run dev fails with EADDRINUSE, the extension names the process holding port 3000, stops it and re-runs the command]

Install Portcheck - Port in Use Fixer from the VS Code Marketplace (search "portcheck" in VS Code) or Open VSX (VSCodium, Cursor, Windsurf). portcheck is built in.

JetBrains plugin

In IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, PyCharm, GoLand and the other JetBrains IDEs, when a run configuration fails because its port is taken, a notification names the process and offers Stop it and rerun; the Ports tool window lists every listening port.

▶ Watch the 20-second demo

[portcheck in IntelliJ IDEA: the run fails with "Address already in use", and a notification names the Python process holding port 3000 with Stop Python and rerun]

Install portcheck-jetbrains-<version>.zip from the latest release (Settings → Plugins → ⚙ → Install Plugin from Disk…); it is in review on JetBrains Marketplace (guide).

Browser extension

On every localhost tab, a badge names the process serving it, or says off when nothing is listening; the popup shows who started it and stops it safely.

[The portcheck browser popup for localhost:3000: Running, node with its pid, who started it, its command and user, Stop process, and the ports listening on the machine]

Install Portcheck - Localhost Port Inspector from Microsoft Edge Add-ons, then run portcheck browser install once. For Chrome, Brave and Chromium, load the zip from the latest release (guide).

Highlights

  • Same commands and output on every OS. It replaces lsof -i, netstat -ano, ss -ltnp and kill.
  • Built for scripts. --json follows a versioned schema, exit codes are stable, and results go to stdout while messages go to stderr.
  • Container- and WSL-aware. Ports published by Docker/Podman or forwarded from WSL show the container or distro, and kill tells you how to stop it there instead of killing the proxy.
  • Honest about permissions. Hidden owners are shown as hidden, with a hint on how to see them.
  • A Go library too. See pkg/.

Use as a Go library

go
res, err := inspect.NewSystem().List(ctx, inspect.Filter{Ports: portspec.Single(3000), ListeningOnly: true})if err != nil {	log.Fatal(err)}for _, s := range res.Sockets {	if s.Process != nil { // nil when the owner is hidden from your user		fmt.Println(s.PID, s.Process.Name)	}}

See the library guide for portspec, inspect, freeport, killer, scan, waitfor and containers.

Responsible use

portcheck scan makes ordinary TCP connections and has no stealth features. Only scan hosts and networks you own or are authorized to test.

工具

check_port

Check a port

Check whether ports are free. For each port in use, says which process holds it: name, PID, user, command line, who started it, and the container if Docker or Podman publishes it. Use it first when a server fails with "address already in use" or EADDRINUSE.

输入参数ports必填proto

find_free_port

Find free ports

Find ports that are free right now, verified by binding them, optionally within a range (e.g. 3000-3999). Use it to start a server on another port instead of stopping what holds one.

输入参数countrange

list_ports

List listening ports

List the ports listening on this machine, with the process, PID, user and who started it (e.g. npm ← zsh), and the container for ports published by Docker or Podman. Use it to see what's running, or to find a dev server by name (name="node*") or port range.

输入参数nameportsproto

stop_process

Stop a process

Stop the process listening on a port, or a process by PID: asks it to exit, then kills it after 5 s. Refuses system processes and the assistant itself. Ports published by Docker, Podman or WSL report the command to run instead. Use dry_run to see what would be stopped, and check_port first to tell the user what it is.

输入参数pidportforcedry_run

wait_for_port

Wait for a port

Wait until a port accepts connections, e.g. until a server or database has finished starting, or with free=true until a port is free again. Returns as soon as it's ready, or fails after timeout_seconds.

输入参数freehostport必填timeout_seconds
