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.
