What it does

A VS Code extension from Microsoft that runs an MCP server giving coding agents control of the VS Code debugger. The agent can start a debug session for a file or a single test, set breakpoints, step over, into and out, continue, pause a running program, restart, read the session status and inspect variables and evaluate expressions at a pause. The README lists Codex, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code and Cline among supported agents. Version 2.4 adds a standalone npm command-line version that talks to configured debug adapters without VS Code, and the project installs a debug-live skill carrying its systematic debugging workflow into the standard skills folders.

Capabilities

  • Start a VS Code debug session for a file or test
  • Set breakpoints and step through code
  • Pause a running program and read its status
  • Inspect variables and evaluate expressions
  • Run without VS Code through the debugmcp CLI
