What is Inspecto and does it work with Cursor?

Inspecto is a browser extension that maps page elements to source code and pipes context to AI tools like Cursor, Claude Code, or Copilot. Install via npx, supports Cursor natively—no config hell.

Will Inspecto replace DevTools entirely?

Nah, it's a shortcut for AI handoffs. DevTools for deep dives, Inspecto for flow-saving clicks. Prod-safe, tree-shaken.

Is Inspecto free and open source?

Fully open source on GitHub. No paywalls, no tracking. Star it if it clicks.
