Claude IDE Bridge: WebSocket Tool for Real-Time IDE Access
What This Is
claude-ide-bridge is a WebSocket bridge that lets Claude Code access your IDE's internal state in real time. While most MCP tools provide Claude with file access, this bridge connects Claude directly to the IDE itself.
Key Features
- Live diagnostics
- Go-to-definition functionality
- Find references
- Type hovering
- File opening
- Breakpoint management
- Debugger state streaming
All the information you rely on while coding is streamed directly to Claude.
Development Process
Most of the 25+ tools were built iteratively with Claude Code running the test suite, catching regressions, and navigating its own codebase through the bridge as it evolved. This recursive workflow only makes sense once the system is operational.
Setup Process
Setting it up is a simple three-step process:
- Install the companion extension
- Start the bridge
- Open Claude
After that, Claude can navigate your codebase as you do, running tests, checking diagnostics, committing changes, and creating pull requests, all without needing to copy and paste.
Compatibility
The bridge is compatible with Antigravity, VS Code, Windsurf, and Cursor.
The tool is free and open source, available on GitHub at https://github.com/Oolab-labs/claude-ide-bridge.
