Configure Dev Servers
Orbit can run your dev servers so you don’t juggle terminal windows.
- Open the project window and go to the Servers tab.
- Orbit scans your
package.jsonfor known dev tools and offers Detected project tools — one click adds a server entry (and an MCP stdio entry where relevant). - Start, stop, or restart each server from its card. You’ll see status, port, uptime, and a log tail.
From the command line or an AI client
Section titled “From the command line or an AI client”The same operations are available as MCP tools: orbit_server_start, orbit_server_stop, orbit_server_status, and orbit_server_logs — so Apollo or any client can bring a server up for you.
