Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using theMCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:
The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
This is a web browser that enables your coding agent, such as Claude Code, to visit websites on your behalf and assist you in identifying bugs or creating UI test cases.
