+## Multiple MCP hosts
+
+This package supports multiple MCP clients on the same machine.
+
+- The first process becomes the primary backend and owns the browser bridge port.
+- Later processes detect the running backend and act as lightweight followers.
+- This allows tools like Claude Desktop and LM Studio to share the same live Construct Shader Graph connection.
+
+By default:

+- browser bridge: `6359`
+- local control port: `6360`

 ## How it works
 
 There are two sides to the integration:
