I've been experimenting with ways to make Claude Code more useful for real development workflows, especially when dealing with long-running processes like dev servers.

This is an open-source MCP server that helps AI coding agents manage and debug live Node.js processes. It supports:

- Starting and stopping Node.js scripts without blocking the terminal

- Attaching to the Chrome DevTools Protocol for real debugging

- Setting breakpoints, stepping through code, and evaluating expressions

- Managing multiple processes and debug sessions across time

You can use it to reliably launch scripts like npm run dev, pause at the first line, attach a debugger, and walk through your code step by step, all from within Claude Code in the terminal.

Would appreciate any feedback or ideas. If you're building with Claude Code or working on your own AI coding tools, happy to help you get started.
