Ask Cursor to restart — without kill -9

Agents are good at guessing. They are worse at owning your process table. When Vite wedges, the temptation is to paste lsof and kill -9 into chat. That works until it hits Postgres.

Rig's MCP hub exposes restart against projects you already trust in the app. Token rotates. Scope can be hub-wide or one project.

Setup in one breath

1. Hub running in Rig → Connections
2. One-click link for Cursor (or paste JSON)
3. Ask: "restart storefront and show the last error"
