GDB

Provides programmatic access to the GNU Debugger (GDB) through a standardized interface, enabling AI models and other clients to interact with debugging capabilities.

About

GDB-MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to bridge the gap between AI models, MCP clients, and the powerful GNU Debugger (GDB). By exposing GDB's full functionality, including its Machine Interface (MI), via a standardized API, it enables sophisticated debugging workflows driven by natural language interactions. It offers isolated session management, comprehensive GDB command execution (CLI and MI), and provides complete GDB documentation as accessible resources, making advanced debugging more accessible for automated systems and intelligent agents.

Key Features

  • Execute both CLI and MI (Machine Interface) GDB commands
  • Create and manage multiple isolated GDB debugging sessions
  • Access complete GDB command reference through MCP resources
  • 0 GitHub stars
  • Asynchronous operation for efficient concurrent session handling
  • Automatic cleanup of idle sessions with timeout protection

Use Cases

  • Integrating GNU Debugger capabilities with AI models for natural language-driven debugging.
  • Programmatically controlling and automating GDB sessions from MCP-compatible clients like Claude Desktop.
  • Accessing comprehensive GDB command documentation and references via an API.
  • Building custom debugging interfaces or tools that leverage GDB without direct CLI interaction.
