There's a Brackets extension for "Live Development" with Node.js: https://github.com/DennisKehrig/brackets-v8-node-live

And a general JS debugger extension: https://github.com/jdiehl/brackets-debugger

The problem is they don't work together yet: the debugger assumes you're using the usual Live Development mode, which connects to a Chrome browser instance. The authors of those two extensions collaborate frequently, and I believe at one point they were working on making the extensions compatible (see the "v8bridge" branch in the first extension). I think they'd be pretty responsive if you start a thread in the brackets-dev Google Groups forum with this question.

There's also https://github.com/TheBenji/brackets-node-debugger but it's no more active than the others. — Ben Creasy, Aug 16 '15 at 07:05

The Theseus project for Brackets is an 'omniscient debugger' that supports inspecting code that's running in Node.
