A developer created a new open-source command-line tool called whatbroke to address issues with the Cursor IDE incorrectly identifying files to edit after test crashes. The tool wraps commands, capturing the error, the diff since the last successful run, and a ranked guess of the responsible file. It then exposes this information to Cursor via MCP, allowing the IDE to edit the correct file and verify the fix by re-running the exact command. AI
