// use cases

Manage local servers in a desktop app

Developers can start, stop, and inspect local development servers from a desktop app during local debugging, instead of handling those actions directly in the agent session.

Separate agent sessions from local runtime management

When you want local server control to live in a separate interface, this tool helps manage server status in a desktop app and reduces reliance on the current session.

// FAQ

What does devglow do?

It is an MCP tool for starting, stopping, and inspecting local development servers in a desktop app. Its focus is to handle those actions outside the agent session.

What environment does it require?

Based on the description, it relies on a desktop app to manage local development servers. More specific installation and runtime prerequisites are not provided; see the source repository.

How is it different from running servers directly in the session?

The difference is that it moves starting, stopping, and inspecting local development servers into a desktop app rather than executing them inside the agent session. This is useful for separating local server management from session interactions.
