r/ClaudeAI: Developer Builds Local-First Web IDE That Feeds Live IDE State Into Claude Code Agent Over MCP — Seeking Testers Before Open-Source Release

A developer on r/ClaudeAI shares a local-first web IDE built around the Claude Code CLI that solves the persistent context re-explanation problem by feeding live IDE state — open files, cursor location, terminal output — back to the Claude Code agent in real time via MCP. The project is being readied for open-sourcing and the developer is requesting testers and contributors ahead of release. The approach inverts the typical Claude Code workflow by making the IDE state-aware rather than requiring developers to re-narrate working context across sessions.
