Set up and manage local Freenet development environments and interact with a running node. Use when the user wants to test contract changes locally, debug UI issues, run a local node, query connections/diagnostics, inspect the dashboard, use the WebSocket API, or iterate on a Freenet application without deploying to the live network.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Freenet Local Development & Node Interaction

Guidance for running local Freenet nodes, publishing contracts, querying node state, and debugging dApps during development.

## Prerequisites

```bash
which freenet fdev
rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
```

## Architecture

### Ports & Services

| Service | Default Port | Flag | Purpose |
|---------|-------------|------|---------|
| Network (P2P, UDP) | a free port chosen at first start | `--network-port` | Peer-to-peer connections |
| WebSocket API | 7509 | `--ws-api-port` | Client API (UI, CLI tools, fdev) |

### HTTP Endpoints

| Endpoint | Purpose |
|----------|---------|
| `GET /` | Home dashboard |
| `GET /peer/{address}` | Peer detail page |
| `GET /v1/contract/web/{key}` | Contract web interface |
| `WS /v1/contract/command?encodingProtocol=native` | WebSocket API |

The dashboard at `http://localhost:7509/` shows connection status, peers, hosted and subscribed contracts, and operation counts. For the same data in a script, use `fdev query` and `fdev diagnostics` rather than scraping the HTML.

### Node Data Locations

| Platform | Data directory | Config directory (`config.toml`, `gateways.toml`) |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add freenet/freenet-agent-skills/local-dev@sha256:38db8490342c52af

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.f9fae8f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
