GDB MCP Server

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Start and manage GDB debugging sessions programmatically (create, list, terminate sessions).

• 2

  Control program execution and inspect state (continue, step, next, breakpoints, backtrace, registers).

• 3

  Advanced binary analysis operations such as disassembling functions, reading memory bytes, and extracting symbol/stack information.

Description

This project exposes GDB functionality over the MCP protocol so language-model clients can start and manage GDB sessions, load programs or core dumps, control execution, set breakpoints/watchpoints, inspect memory and registers, and perform advanced analyses like disassembly and stack inspection. It provides a command-line/stdio server with quick-start instructions and integrations for Claude Desktop and VSCode Copilot. The repository includes example prompts and test commands to validate functionality. It is intended to enable automated or conversational debugging workflows driven by LLM agents.
