# `mix tidewave`
[🔗](https://github.com/agoodway/perplexed/blob/v0.2.0/dev/mix/tasks/tidewave.ex#L1)

Starts the app and serves Tidewave's MCP at
`http://localhost:<port>/tidewave/mcp` so a coding agent can evaluate code
inside the running project. Tidewave ships only as a Phoenix plug, so this
runs that plug under Bandit for a library with no endpoint.

    mix tidewave            # port 4000
    mix tidewave --port 4123

Lives in `dev/`, compiled only in `:dev` and left out of the Hex package.
