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
- Cross-platform: Linux, macOS, Windows

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
