A macOS menu bar app, CLI, and MCP server that identifies which app or AI agent opened a listening development port, flags LAN exposure, and stops processes safely.

Wharfy replaces PID archaeology with a parent chain that can read “node ← claude ← zsh ← Terminal,” then uses SIGTERM, a grace period, and SIGKILL to clean up without crossing into your shell or IDE. Its MCP server gives AI agents tools to list ports, kill processes, wait for ports, and suggest free ones.
