Tierward MCP Server

Claude Code is fast. The problem it creates isn't in the code: it's in the review. When AI writes everything autonomously, you end up approving diffs you don't fully understand, catching regressions two blocks later, and losing the thread of what the system actually does. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting developer tools tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.
