jasonjmcghee/claude-debugs-for-you

Install the extension from the VS Code Marketplace or the release .vsix (Extensions → Install from VSIX...)
Copy the stdio server path via the "Copy MCP Debug Server stdio path to clipboard" command and add: { "mcpServers": { "debug": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/mcp-debug.js"] } } }

Usage

• •Open a project with a .vscode/launch.json whose first config debugs a file with ${file}
• •Ask Claude e.g. "can you debug it step by step using breakpoints and evaluating expressions ... DEBUG!"
• •SSE mode for Cursor: use the /sse address http://localhost:4711/sse (port configurable)

Key features

• ✓Interactive debugging via MCP: breakpoints, stepping, and expression evaluation in the VS Code debugger
• ✓Language-agnostic — works with any debugger console that VS Code supports (requires valid launch.json)
• ✓Conditional breakpoints supported
• ✓Status-bar menu shows server health and exposes commands; works with Claude Desktop, Continue, and Cursor

Caveats

• ⚠Requires VS Code debugger console support and a valid .vscode/launch.json for your project
• ⚠Only demonstrated with Claude Desktop and Continue
• ⚠VS Code extension; multiple-window handoff prompts when several windows are open
