Mcp Gdbserver
This server wraps gdbserver to give you remote debugging control through MCP tools. You get 19 operations across process management (start, attach, stop sessions), breakpoint handling, execution control (continue, step, next, interrupt), and inspection (stack frames, variables, threads, registers, memory reads). It's what you'd reach for when you want Claude to help debug a running process or step through program execution, whether you're troubleshooting a crash, analyzing memory corruption, or just need an AI pair programmer that can actually inspect your program state. Requires gdbserver on your system and connects via stdio transport.
