INSANE Parallel Coding with Claude Code + Cursor MCP Server
AI Summary
Parallel Coding Overview
- Concept: Two clients (Client 1 and Client 2) collaborate on a project using an MCP server that facilitates communication between them.
Setting Up the Environment
- MCP Server: Runs on
localhost:8765
to allow the two clients to communicate.- Clients: Client 1 uses cloud code, while Client 2 interacts through Cursor with a sync bridge to the MCP server.
Communication Process
- Clients send messages to each other to coordinate their work:
- Client 1 notifies Client 2 when ready to work.
- Client 2 acknowledges and suggests tasks (e.g., building a simple app).
Project Goal
- Aim to develop a simple photo upload app that stores images locally in an
images
directory, with each client focusing on a different part of the project (front-end vs. back-end).Planning with Gemini 2.5 Pro
- Created a structured plan for the project to guide each client.
Implementation Progress
- Both clients worked autonomously, sending messages back and forth to ensure synchronized progress on the project.
- Successfully tested the back-end server and front-end application, demonstrating fast, effective parallel coding.
Conclusion
- Initial tests were promising, showcasing the potential of parallel coding with two clients using different LLMs.
- The video concludes with a call for viewer feedback on continued development of the MCP server.
