Sidecar provides a lightweight, cross-platform MCP server designed to overcome a common limitation of AI coding agents: their inability to run and interact with long-lived processes. Built in Go for single-binary distribution with zero runtime dependencies, it enables agents to initiate API servers, run builds in watch mode, manage databases for testing, and more. It ensures reliable cleanup of child processes and offers robust output control and command security features, including an optional executable allowlist and audit logging, making it an essential companion for sophisticated AI-driven development workflows.
Key Features
01Reliable cleanup of all child processes upon server exit
02Command security with optional executable allowlist and audit logging
