mcp_server_gdb
GDB/MI protocol server for remote debugging with AI. mcp_server_gdb is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server maintained by pansila. It connects to MCP-compatible clients such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, and other agents that speak the protocol. It exposes 16 tools, including create_session, get_session, get_all_sessions, close_session, start_debugging, stop_debugging, continue_execution and step_execution, that an agent can call directly. It is categorized under Development/Debugging and AI/Integration.
What is this MCP
This MCP is a GDB/MI protocol server that enables remote application debugging capabilities, specifically designed to work with AI assistants. It implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to facilitate debugging operations.
How to use this MCP
Run the server directly via pre-built binaries or build from source using Rust. It supports both stdio and Server-Sent Events (SSE) transport modes. Configure via environment variables or by modifying thesrc/config.rs file.
What this MCP can be used for
