Provides an asynchronous Rust-based server to interactively control GDB for debugging native programs.
Sponsored
Openmcpgdb is an asynchronous Rust server designed to bridge the gap between GDB's powerful debugging capabilities and modern MCP clients, including LLM-based coding assistants like Codex, Claude Code, and opencode-compatible tools. Built with the `rmcp` crate, it offers a comprehensive `gdb_*` tool API, ensuring deep integration for debugging native applications. Each client session benefits from a dedicated worker thread and isolated GDB process, while flexible configuration allows customization of display windows for source code, backtraces, and watched variables. It supports both streamable HTTP/HTTPS and stdio transport modes, making it adaptable to various development environments and client types.
