About portless

portless

Set up and use portless for named local dev server URLs (e.g

portless is an agent skill from the vercel-labs portless project for setting up named local development URLs. Instead of addresses like localhost:3000, your app gets a stable name such as https://myapp.localhost, which removes many common problems. The skill lists the problems portless addresses: port conflicts when two projects default to the same port, the difficulty of remembering which app runs on which port, stale tabs that show the wrong app after a server restarts on the same port, and monorepos where every issue scales with each service. It also covers AI agents testing the wrong port, cookies and localStorage clashing between apps on localhost, and hardcoded ports in CORS allowlists, OAuth redirects and .env files that break when ports change. Sharing a stable URL with teammates is easier than explaining a port number. The skill's installation guidance recommends installing portless globally, and it advises against npx or pnpm dlx for one-off runs. It is listed on skills.sh, where the page shows install counts, GitHub stars and security audit results. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/vercel-labs/portless --skill portless.
