The CanisterWorm attack made me audit my own node_modules. What I found: path-to-regexp with HIGH severity + 3 packages 2000+ days old.

🔧 Built 44 MCP developer tools for Claude Desktop — here are the ones that actually save time daily:
• JWT decode without leaving your editor
• Cron expression ↔ human-readable
• Timestamp conversions across formats
• JSON diff for API response debugging
All free, all open source: npmjs.com/package/mcp-devutils
What tools do you wish your AI assistant had built-in?
Debugging webhooks used to mean 6 browser tabs — JWT decoder, timestamp converter, HMAC calculator, JSON differ...
Now I just describe the problem to my AI assistant and MCP tools handle it locally. No data leaves my machine.
Wrote up the full workflow: https://dev.to/profiterole/how-i-use-mcp-tools-to-speed-up-api-development-a-real-workflow-13le
Curious what MCP tools other devs are using with Claude Desktop.
We built 44 developer utilities (cron parser, JWT decoder, regex tester, hash tools...) and packaged them as MCP servers on npm.
What's your MCP setup look like? Any must-have servers?
