Feedthrough MCP Server
Debug with AI - from inside your app. Feedthrough injects a lightweight debug bridge into any running web page, then exposes everything - DOM state, console logs, network requests, and user interactions - as MCP tools. Any MCP-compatible AI agent can inspect and drive the page conversationally, in real time. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
People who work with agentic web, browser automation and dom inspector and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Feedthrough
before you install - you'll need
FEEDTHROUGH_PORT
Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.
Claude Code
claude mcp add feedthrough-feedthrough -- npx -y @feedthrough/mcp Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config
{
"mcpServers": {
"feedthrough-feedthrough": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@feedthrough/mcp"
]
}
}
} Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
Using another client? Same JSON, different key

06 · Feedthrough FAQ
What is Feedthrough?
Debug with AI - from inside your app. Feedthrough injects a lightweight debug bridge into any running web page, then exposes everything - DOM state, console logs, network requests, and user interactions - as MCP tools. Any MCP-compatible AI agent can inspect and drive the page conversationally, in real time. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
Is Feedthrough still maintained?
Yes - as of 2026-09-18, its last commit was 2026-09-04 and it shipped 1 release in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.
How do I install Feedthrough?
Run `npx -y @feedthrough/mcp`. The README documents one environment variable (FEEDTHROUGH_PORT) to set first. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does Feedthrough run locally?
Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via npx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
