Node.js Backend Debugging Skill

Debug Node.js backend processes using non-blocking tracepoints, logpoints, exceptionpoints, and JavaScript execution. Use when the user needs to debug API servers, workers, or backend scripts.

When to Use

This skill activates when:

• User asks to debug Node.js backend or API
• User wants to trace function calls in a running server
• User needs to inspect variables or state in a Node process
• User mentions backend errors, API bugs, or server-side issues
• User wants to run JavaScript in a connected Node process

Prerequisites

• Use MCP with PLATFORM=node or run node-devtools-mcp separately
• Connect to the target process before other debug commands (debug_connect)
