Target Reference Server
Loopback Overview
The loopback MCP server connects local web apps, a shared SQLite feedback queue, and coding agents through MCP. A browser widget lets users pin comments to elements while capturing console output, failed requests with response bodies, route history, and optional AI run metadata. Agents can work project-scoped queues over stdio or streamable HTTP, and status changes appear back on the page as pins turn green. Reach for it when feedback from real app usage needs to become actionable work for Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI.
Primary Use Cases for Loopback:
- Pin a broken form directly on a local web app
- Route captured browser failures into a project queue
- Let coding agents claim and resolve feedback items
- Verify fixes from the running page
