GUI + MCP control plane for your local dev servers. Humans click, agents automate the same daemon.

25 ★1 forksTypeScriptUpdated 20d ago

What you need to know

A GUI + MCP control plane for local dev servers: start/stop/restart dev processes from one pane with live status/CPU/memory/logs, while AI agents drive the same daemon over MCP off one shared state.

Install

bun install && bun run dev
Download devwebui-windows-x64.exe from Releases (Windows prebuilt)

Usage

  • First launch scans once for .devwebui files; afterward add projects via 'Add project', dropping a folder/.devwebui file on the Windows launcher, or `devwebui open <path>`.
  • Define one .devwebui file per repo listing processes (id, name, command, cwd, port, env, autostart, links, companion); processes can also be edited in the GUI.
  • Register the MCP server in your client with DEVWEBUI_URL=http://localhost:4000 to drive the same daemon the GUI uses.
  • Use the CLI (devwebui start/stop/status/list/start-all/mcp) or DEVWEBUI_PORT to point at another daemon.

Key features

  • 31 MCP tools covering projects, processes, logs and the de-duplicated error log.
  • Port-conflict rescue: detects a taken port, tells you which process holds it, and frees it on request.
  • Runtime-aware launches that follow each project's lockfile; Windows desktop shortcuts and tray app.
  • Full i18n (English base) with light/dark themes; local-first, open source, no account required for core use.

Best for

Developers who run many local dev servers and want a clickable dashboard plus agent automation over one shared daemon.

Caveats

  • Prebuilt tray/desktop experience is Windows-focused; macOS/Linux tray is on the roadmap.
  • Optional settings sync requires a LunarWerx Connections account and is off by default.
  • Sends an anonymous install ping (opt-out via DEVWEBUI_NO_PING=1); core functionality needs no cloud.
  • MIT licensed.
