A GDB/MI protocol server based on the MCP protocol, providing remote application debugging capabilities with AI assistants.
- Create and manage GDB debug sessions
- Set and manage breakpoints
- View stack information and variables
- Control program execution (run, pause, step, etc.)
- Support concurrent multi-session debugging
- A built-in TUI to inspect agent behaviors so that you can improve your prompt (WIP)
Find the binaries in the release page, choose one per your working platform, then you can run it directly.
Clone the repository and build it by cargo
cargo build --release
cargo run
- Just run it directly:
./mcp-server-gdb
- The server supports two transport modes:
- Stdio (default): Standard input/output transport
- SSE: Server-Sent Events transport, default at
http://127.0.0.1:8080
You can adjust server configuration by modifying the src/config.rs
file or by environment variables:
- Server IP Address
- Server port
- GDB command timeout time (in seconds)
