MCP Debugger

Image demonstrating the debugger

An Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides debugging capabilities for Python, C, C++, Rust, Swift, and more through the Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP).

  • Get breakpoints, step-by-step evaluation, and segfault stack traces.

  • Read program stdout/stderr in pages (lines: 0-100, etc...) without flooding the context window.

  • Programs run async, debug multiple applications at once.

Installation

Cursor:

Install MCP Server

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport stdio Debugger -- npx -y mcp-debugger-dap@latest

Manual configuration:

"Debugger": {
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "mcp-debugger-dap@latest"]
}

Supported debuggers

mcp-debugger-dap supports either Python (debugpy) or LLDB supported languages (tested: C, C++, Rust, Swift). Probably more such as Objective-C, Zig, etc... are supported through LLDB.

Python (debugpy)

Python 3 and pip must be installed.

The debugpy wheel is automatically downloaded to ~/.mcp-debugger.

LLDB

LLDB support requires a recent binary of lldb-dap.

For macOS users: On macOS Sequoia+ I confirmed tested, before this YMMV, comes included with XCode Command Line Tools.

For Linux users: I recommend the Helix editor guide to installing lldb-dap.

Demo

The demo/ directory contains example scripts demonstrating race conditions and other bugs that can be debugged using this MCP server.

cd demo
# Use Claude Code or another MCP client to debug:
# "Let's use the debugger to find the race condition in order_processor.py"

This server cannot be deployed

One endpoint for every MCP toolRayrun runs every MCP server behind one URL and holds the credentials. Each call is decided per client, tool, and argument, then recorded.ray.runAd
