Xdebug

概要

Xdebug provides an MCP server that bridges AI assistants, such as Claude, with PHP's powerful Xdebug debugger. It allows AI agents to gain full control over PHP application execution, offering comprehensive debugging capabilities through the Xdebug DBGp protocol. Developers can leverage this tool for detailed inspection, control, and analysis of PHP code, including setting breakpoints, evaluating expressions, tracking variables, and even advanced features like watch expressions, logpoints, memory profiling, and code coverage, all managed programmatically. Its robust design supports multiple debug sessions and integrates seamlessly with Docker environments, making it an indispensable tool for AI-driven development and analysis of PHP applications.
