# Frequently Asked Questions Common questions about kindly-debugger. ## General ### What is kindly-debugger? kindly-debugger is a hosted debugging service that integrates with AI coding assistants through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It provides time-travel debugging, audit trails, and bug pattern detection. ### What is MCP? The Model Context Protocol is a standard for connecting AI assistants to external tools and data sources. kindly-debugger implements MCP to work seamlessly with Claude Code and other compatible clients. ### Which platforms are supported? - **Target debugging**: Linux x86_64 (macOS and Windows planned) - **Clients**: Any MCP-compatible client (Claude Code, etc.) ## Setup ### How do I get an API key? Visit [kindly.services](https://kindly.services), create an account, and generate a key from the dashboard. ### Where do I put the configuration file? - **Linux/macOS**: `~/.config/claude-code/mcp_servers.json` - **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\claude-code\mcp_servers.json` ### Do I need to install anything? No. kindly-debugger is a hosted service. You only need to configure your MCP client with your API key. ### Can I use kindly-debugger without Claude Code? Yes. Any MCP-compatible client will work. You can also make direct HTTP requests to the API. ## Debugging ### How does time-travel debugging work? kindly-debugger records execution snapshots as your program runs. You can step backward through these snapshots to see previous program states. ### What's the limit on execution history? History depth depends on your plan tier. Check your plan details at [kindly.services](https://kindly.services). ### Can I debug remote processes? The debugger attaches to processes on the system where kindly-debugger is running. For remote debugging, contact support about enterprise options. ### Does debugging affect my program's performance? Yes, debugging introduces overhead. The exact impact depends on your usage (breakpoint density, snapshot frequency, etc.). ## Security ### Is my code sent to your servers? kindly-debugger needs to read memory and registers from debugged processes. We do not store your program code or data beyond the active debugging session. ### Are audit trails secure? Yes. Audit trails are cryptographically signed and suitable for compliance requirements (SOX, SOC2, GDPR, HIPAA). ### How do I revoke a compromised API key? Go to **Dashboard** > **API Keys** in [kindly.services](https://kindly.services) and click **Revoke** on the compromised key. ## Pricing & Limits ### Is there a free tier? Yes. The free tier includes limited API requests per month for evaluation purposes. ### What happens when I hit my quota? API requests will return a quota exceeded error. You can upgrade your plan or wait for the monthly reset. ### How do I check my usage? Use the `debugger/quota_status` tool or check the dashboard at [kindly.services](https://kindly.services). ## Troubleshooting ### "Permission denied" when attaching to a process On Linux, you may need `CAP_SYS_PTRACE` capability or elevated privileges to attach to certain processes. ### Tools not showing in Claude Code 1. Verify your configuration JSON syntax 2. Restart Claude Code 3. Check that your API key is valid ### Slow response times - Check your internet connection - Reduce the complexity of queries - Contact support if issues persist ### "History unavailable" when stepping backward Time-travel requires execution history. Step forward first to build up history, then step backward. ## Support ### How do I report a bug? Use the [issue template](.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md) in this repository or email support@kindly.software. ### How do I request a feature? Email support@kindly.software with your feature request and use case. ### Is there enterprise support? Yes. Enterprise plans include dedicated support, custom SLAs, and priority access to new features. Contact sales@kindly.software. --- Can't find your answer?
