Rewatch FAQs

Question 1

What problem does Rewatch solve for AI coding assistants?

Accepted Answer

Rewatch solves the problem of AI assistants like Claude Code getting blocked or timing out on long-running development processes (e.g., `npm run dev`). It enables them to manage these tasks in the background, access real-time logs, and prevent timeouts.

Question 2

How does Rewatch manage development processes?

Accepted Answer

Rewatch acts as an intermediary, running as a separate service that manages your dev servers (frontend, backend, database) as child processes. This allows AI assistants to start, restart, and monitor processes non-blockingly via specific commands.

Question 3

Can Rewatch manage multiple development services concurrently?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Rewatch is designed to manage multiple concurrent development services, such as your frontend, backend, and database. You can configure each process with its own command, working directory, and startup delays.

Question 4

How does an AI assistant interact with Rewatch?

Accepted Answer

AI assistants interact with Rewatch via available tools. For instance, they can use `restart_process` to restart a service, `get_process_logs` to retrieve buffered output, and `list_processes` to check the status of all configured services.

Question 5

Is Rewatch specific to Claude Code or other AI environments?

Accepted Answer

While designed for AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Rewatch is built as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. This makes it potentially compatible with other AI environments or tools that can integrate and utilize MCP-based services.
