🌟 Before claiming this issue

Two quick steps before you open a PR:

  1. ⭐ Star the repository β€” low-friction signal that you'll follow through
  2. πŸ’¬ Comment I'll take this (or similar) below β€” prevents two contributors racing on the same issue

Full policy: CONTRIBUTING.md β†’ How to claim. If a claim is older than 7 days with no PR, you can reclaim it politely.


Context

M4 alpha ship needs a launch narrative. A dev.to or personal-blog tutorial walking through setting up Claude Desktop, installing react-debugger MCP, and asking the agent a real question about a real React bug would dramatically lower the trial barrier for first-time users.

Where to look

Expected outcome

  • A published dev.to post (cross-post Hashnode and Medium with dev.to canonical)
  • Article structure: hook, install, first tool call, real debugging session, call-to-action
  • Article includes 2 to 3 screenshots and one short GIF of the agent debugging a real React app
  • Article opens with maintainer attribution (this is OSS; community contributors with bylines welcome)
  • Article links back to the GitHub repo

Estimated effort

M (3 to 6h)

How to claim

Comment "@hoainho I will take this" to claim. Share your dev.to handle. PR within 14 days or unclaimed (PR target is the README, which links the published article).

Acceptance criteria

  • Article URL published and live
  • README "MCP for Agents" section links to it
  • Article uses the same install command plus mcp.json snippets as cli/docs/MCP_USAGE.md (no drift)
  • If maintainer agrees, the article is cross-posted under both names with a co-authored tag
