| Setting | Default | What it does | |---|---|---| | Port | 6969 | Localhost port for the MCP server | | Auto-start | off | Start the server when the project opens |
If the port is already in use (e.g., another PhpStorm instance), you get a notification with options to change the port or retry.
From GitHub Release: Download the latest .zip from Releases, then in PhpStorm go to Settings > Plugins > Gear icon > Install Plugin from Disk and select the zip.
