mcp-debugger MCP
A headless MCP server that enables AI agents to perform step-through debugging in environments where IDEs cannot operate, such as CI runners, containers, and Kubernetes pods. It supports ten languages by driving real debuggers via the Debug Adapter Protocol, allowing agents to set breakpoints, inspect live variables, evaluate expressions, and step through code without human intervention.
