SuperDev: Open-Source MCP Server Giving AI Agents Runtime Breakpoints & Browser Control
Tough-Reach1134 · reddit · 2026-08-01
A developer open-sourced SuperDev, a local-first MCP server and desktop app that gives AI agents runtime access to running processes, filling a gap left by data-only MCP servers.
Core Capabilities (75 tools):
- Logs & Diagnostics: Tail/search across services and jump to log context.
- Code Debugging: Attaches to running processes without restarts to set breakpoints, capture stack/variables, and step. Supports Go, Python, Rust, C/C++.
- Browser Control: Navigate, click, screenshot, and monitor network requests via Playwright over CDP.
- Pipelines & Config: Service control, schema management, and deployments.
Safety Model: High-risk operations use a graduated policy. Local dev environments allow direct execution for autonomy, while remote hosts or deployments pause for human approval in the UI, bound to a single-use token and audit record. This is enforced locally, not via system prompts.
Apache-2.0 licensed, with one-click MCP install for Claude Code, Cursor, and more.
