1. High-Level System Context
Trace is designed as a Local-First intelligence layer. It connects your AI Agent (Cursor, Claude) to your local runtime environment via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Key Takeaway: Everything happens on your machine. Trace acts as the translation layer between the text-based world of the Agent and the binary world of the Browser.2. The “Vibe Loop” (Sequence)
How Trace turns a vague question into a concrete fix.3. Security & Data Flow
Designed for privacy. We do not tunnel your localhost to the cloud for basic debugging.- Local Execution: The SDK runs inside your application process.
- No Code Exfiltration: Trace analyzes metadata (errors, logs, structure), not your source code files.
- Direct-Connect: The MCP connection is a direct pipe/socket on your machine.
