Loupe Overview

mohamed-ashraf-elsaed/loupe MCP server exposes pinned visual product feedback to Claude Code as an actionable backlog. It lets agents list comments, inspect a comment with its target element’s HTML, computed styles, screenshot, and optional recording URL, then propose HTML/CSS changes and update status. Loupe runs locally with an embedded PGlite database by default, while PostgreSQL can be selected with DATABASE_URL. Reach for it when product feedback needs to stay tied to the exact UI element and route where it was captured.
