Then why is this part of KDevelop or the kdevplatform? I think it should
be a separate project. And the kdevelop-teamwork plugin can have a
runtime dependecy for such a server.

Well, do you have specific use-cases where this makes sense? I really
can't imagine why a plugin needs to talk to another kdevelop running on
another computer, but maybe I just don't see the vision ;)
