Node Inspector MCP
An MCP server that lets AI coding agents debug Node.js programs — pause execution, inspect variables, step through code, and find bugs at runtime.
AI agents can read your code but can't observe it running. When something breaks, they're guessing from static files. This gives them a real debugger — built on Node.js's Chrome DevTools Protocol, the same engine behind Chrome DevTools and VS Code's debugger. Supports JavaScript and TypeScript out of the box.
Describe a bug in plain English — the agent launches the debugger, sets breakpoints, inspects runtime state, finds the root cause, and fixes it. Or launch any Node.js process — your app, Vite, Angular CLI, Express — and trace which modules load, what gets called, and with what values.
