Implementation Reference
- src/handlers/debug.ts:6-93 (handler)Handler function for debug tools. The 'replay' tool is routed here from server.ts, but lacks a specific switch case and would throw 'Unknown debug command'.export async function handleDebugCommands(name: string, args: any) { switch (name) { case "debug": { const pkg = (args?.package as string) || "."; const buildFlags = args?.buildFlags as string | undefined; const cmdArgs: string[] = []; if (buildFlags) { cmdArgs.push("--build-flags", buildFlags); } const session = await startDebugSession("debug", pkg, cmdArgs); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Started debug session ${session.id} for package ${pkg}` }] }; } case "attach": { const pid = Number(args?.pid); if (!pid) { throw new Error("Process ID is required"); } const session = await startDebugSession("attach", pid.toString()); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Attached to process ${pid} with session ${session.id}` }] }; } case "exec": { const binary = String(args?.binary); const cmdArgs = (args?.args as string[]) || []; const session = await startDebugSession("exec", binary, cmdArgs); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Started debug session ${session.id} for binary ${binary}` }] }; } case "test": { const pkg = (args?.package as string) || "."; const testFlags = (args?.testFlags as string[]) || []; const session = await startDebugSession("test", pkg, ["--", ...testFlags]); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Started test debug session ${session.id} for package ${pkg}` }] }; } case "core": { const { executable, corePath } = args; const session = await startDebugSession("core", executable, [corePath]); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Started core dump analysis session ${session.id} for ${executable} with core ${corePath}` }] }; } case "dap": { const { clientAddr } = args; const cmdArgs = clientAddr ? ["--client-addr", clientAddr] : []; const session = await startDebugSession("dap", "", cmdArgs); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Started DAP server session ${session.id}${clientAddr ? ` connecting to ${clientAddr}` : ''}` }] }; } default: throw new Error("Unknown debug command"); }
- src/server.ts:301-318 (schema)Input schema for the 'replay' MCP tool, defining tracePath as required and onProcess as optional.{ name: "replay", description: "Replay an rr trace", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { tracePath: { type: "string", description: "Path to the rr trace directory" }, onProcess: { type: "number", description: "Optional PID to pass to rr" } }, required: ["tracePath"] } },
- src/server.ts:405-408 (registration)Registration logic in CallToolRequest handler that routes calls to the 'replay' tool to the debug handler.// Debug commands if (["debug", "attach", "exec", "test", "core", "dap", "replay", "trace"].includes(name)) { return handleDebugCommands(name, args); }
- src/types.ts:18-18 (schema)Type definition for DebugSession.type includes 'replay'.type: string; // 'debug' | 'attach' | 'exec' | 'test' | 'core' | 'replay' | 'trace' | 'dap'
