Quick Install

How Detection Works

1This page tries fetch() to localhost:6284 — the port where MAUI Forge runs its web dashboard.

2It probes 3 endpoints: /api/status, /api/diagnostics, /. If any responds, the tool is running.

3If all fail (connection refused), the tool is not running — so we show install instructions.

⚠ Important: this detects whether the tool is running, not just installed.
If installed but stopped, it shows “Not detected” — just start it: maui-forge.
