Guides
Trace backend failures from API requests through server logs and database state to verified fixes: request → logs → data → verify. Use MCP when a coding agent needs controlled runtime evidence for the investigation.
Choose the problem that matches your current investigation. The guides cover investigation workflows and supporting habits, with links to the relevant features and documentation.
Guide 1
How can AI help with operations without freely controlling production?
Investigate with restricted MCP tools in test, preserve known checks as Flow runbooks, and review targets and side effects before human execution.

How can MCP help troubleshoot a backend issue safely?
Use an evidence-first loop across API requests, server state, and database state while keeping scope and high-risk actions under user control.

How do you trace an API error through the server and database?
Start from a reproducible request, follow its evidence into the runtime and persisted state, then verify the result with the original request.

Why save debugging context before a backend failure?
Save requests and connections as they become useful during development, so later troubleshooting has somewhere to start.

What does local-first mean for backend development?
Separate local workspace data and credentials from the remote systems you access and the optional cloud services you choose to enable.
