关于
When developing or installing MCP plugins, traditionally, developers must restart the entire Claude Desktop application to load new configurations, significantly disrupting their workflow. Autostarter provides a smarter solution by identifying and gracefully restarting only the specific Node.js process responsible for managing MCP connections. This allows Claude Desktop to automatically recover and re-establish the handler without closing the UI, losing context, or interrupting the user's ongoing work, making plugin development and configuration updates seamless and efficient.
