Cool Workflow MCP Server
You may already use an AI coding agent - a tool like claude, codex, or gemini that reads your code and answers questions about it. The answer comes back as a chat message. Chat is easy to lose, and hard to check. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
People connecting automation tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.
