About portview

portview is an MCP server published by the GitHub account Mapika. See what's on your ports, the processes behind them, and diagnose conflicts and leaks.

It runs on your own machine: your AI client starts it from the cargo package portview at version 2.1.0.

It asks for no keys or passwords.

Version 2.1.0 was published on 1 August 2026, and the source code is public, so you can read it before installing.

Written from the registry entry. 7 automated checks on registry metadata: 3 pass, 1 warn, 0 fail, 3 info. How we check.

What it asks for

This server declares no environment variables, so it asks for no keys or settings.
