Claude Debugs For You is a Visual Studio Code extension combined with a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables large language models (LLMs) like Claude to interactively debug code in any programming language. The project leverages the MCP to facilitate communication between the LLM and the debugging environment, allowing the model to use breakpoints and evaluate expressions dynamically during a debugging session. This language-agnostic tool assumes the presence of debugger console support and a valid launch.json configuration for debugging within VS Code. The extension integrates seamlessly with VS Code, providing a status menu to indicate whether the debugging server is running correctly. Users can install the extension either from the VS Code Marketplace or by downloading the VSIX package directly. The project supports multiple MCP transport methods, including stdio and server-sent events (SSE), making it compatible with various MCP clients such as Claude Desktop, Continue, and Cursor. Setup involves configuring the MCP server path in the client configuration and starting the MCP client. Once running, users can open projects with appropriate launch configurations and prompt the LLM to debug code interactively. The LLM can step through code, set breakpoints, and evaluate expressions to identify and fix issues without making premature assumptions about the problem. The repository includes detailed instructions for installation, configuration, and usage, along with demo videos showcasing the debugging process. It also encourages community contributions for bug fixes and feature enhancements. The project aims to enhance developer productivity by combining the power of LLMs with traditional debugging workflows, enabling more intuitive and efficient code troubleshooting.
