AIDevTools

MCP servers and tools for AI-powered development.

Components

🚀 Sidekick

Process management, agent communication, and notification MCP server for AI agents.

Features:

• Spawn and manage long-running processes
• Real-time output streaming with ring buffers
• Interactive process control (stdin/stdout/stderr)
• Audio notifications (macOS)
• Agent Q&A system for specialist communication
• TUI mode for visual process monitoring

Install:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eliezedeck/AIDevTools/main/sidekick/install.sh | bash

Usage:

# TUI mode (default)
sidekick

# Stdio mode for Claude Desktop
sidekick --sse=false

# SSE server mode with custom port
sidekick --port 6060

# Add to Claude Desktop (stdio mode)
claude mcp add sidekick ~/.local/bin/sidekick --args "--sse=false"

🌉 stdio2sse

Proxy between stdio-based MCP clients and SSE-based MCP servers.

Features:

• Connect Claude Desktop to SSE-only MCP servers
• Automatic tool discovery and proxying
• Transparent request/response forwarding
• Async architecture for reliable communication

Install:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eliezedeck/AIDevTools/main/stdio2sse/install.sh | bash

Usage:

# Bridge to an SSE server
stdio2sse --sse-url http://localhost:5050/sse

# Add to Claude Desktop
claude mcp add my-sse-server ~/.local/bin/stdio2sse --args "--sse-url" "http://localhost:5050/sse"

Requirements

• Go 1.23+ (for building from source)
• Claude Desktop or other MCP-compatible clients

Building from Source
