windbg-mcp
MCP server that drives cdb.exe/kd.exe to provide WinDbg debugging to LLM agents, enabling crash dump analysis, live process debugging, kernel debugging, and a searchable command reference.
README
windbg-mcp
MCP server that drives cdb.exe (user mode) and kd.exe (kernel mode) as subprocesses, exposing WinDbg debugging to LLM agents over the Model Context Protocol: crash dump analysis, live process debugging, and kernel debugging.
Windows only. Requires Bun ≥ 1.1 (uses
bun:ffi) and the Windows Debugging Tools (cdb.exe/kd.exe, auto-detected from the standard Windows Kits paths or the Store-installed WinDbg for Windows).
