Quick Start Guide

1. Install the Server

npm install -g @ai-capabilities-suite/mcp-debugger-server

2. Configure Your AI Agent

Add to your MCP configuration file (e.g., .kiro/settings/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "debugger": {
      "command": "ts-mcp-server",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

3. Start Debugging

Ask your AI agent to debug your code:

"Debug my Node.js script app.js and set a breakpoint at line 42"

The AI agent will use the MCP Debugger Server to:

1. Start a debug session
2. Set the breakpoint
3. Run your code
4. Pause at the breakpoint
5. Inspect variables and help you fix issues

Common Debugging Scenarios

Scenario 1: Debug a Simple Script

// 1. Start a debug session
{
  "tool": "debugger_start",
  "args": {
    "command": "node",
    "args": ["my-script.js"]
  }
}
// Returns: { sessionId: "session-123", state: "paused" }

// 2. Set a breakpoint
{
  "tool": "debugger_set_breakpoint",
  "args": {
    "sessionId": "session-123",
    "file": "/path/to/my-script.js",
    "line": 10
  }
}

// 3. Continue execution
{
  "tool": "debugger_continue",
  "args": {
    "sessionId": "session-123"
  }
}

// 4. When paused at breakpoint, inspect variables
{
  "tool": "debugger_get_local_variables",
  "args": {
    "sessionId": "session-123"
  }
}

// 5. Step through code
{
  "tool": "debugger_step_over",

    "sessionId": "session-123"
  }
}

// 6. Stop the session
{
  "tool": "debugger_stop_session",
  "args": {
    "sessionId": "session-123"
  }
}

Scenario 2: Debug a Failing Test

// 1. Start debugging a Jest test
{
  "tool": "debugger_start",
  "args": {
    "command": "node",
    "args": ["node_modules/.bin/jest", "my-test.spec.js", "--runInBand"],
    "timeout": 60000
  }
}

// 2. Set breakpoint in test file
{
  "tool": "debugger_set_breakpoint",

    "args": ["potentially-hanging-script.js"],
    "timeout": 5000,
    "sampleInterval": 100
  }
}
// Returns hang location and stack trace if hung

Scenario 4: Debug TypeScript Code

// TypeScript debugging works automatically with source maps
// 1. Ensure your tsconfig.json has "sourceMap": true

// 2. Start debugging the compiled JavaScript
{
  "tool": "debugger_start",
  "args": {
    "command": "node",
    "args": ["--enable-source-maps", "dist/app.js"]
  }
}

// 3. Set breakpoints using TypeScript file paths

    "sessionId": "session-123",
    "file": "/path/to/src/app.ts",  // TypeScript source file
    "line": 42
  }
}
// The debugger automatically maps to the compiled JavaScript location

Scenario 5: Watch Variable Changes

// 1. Start session and set breakpoint
// ... (as in Scenario 1)

// 2. Add watched variables
{
  "tool": "debugger_add_watch",
  "args": {
    "sessionId": "session-123",
    "expression": "user.balance"
  }
}

// 3. Continue execution
{
  "tool": "debugger_continue",
  "args": {
    "sessionId": "session-123"
  }
}

// 4. Check watched variables at each pause
{
  "tool": "debugger_get_watches",

    "sessionId": "session-123"
  }
}
// Returns: { watches: [{ watchId: "user.balance", value: 100, changed: true, oldValue: 50, newValue: 100 }] }

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

Issue: "Session not found"

Symptoms: Error when trying to use a session ID
Cause: The session ID is invalid or the session has been terminated
Solution:

# Start a new debug session
{
  "tool": "debugger_start",
  "arguments": {
    "command": "node",
    "args": ["your-script.js"]
  }
}

Issue: "Process must be paused"

Symptoms: Cannot inspect variables or evaluate expressions
Cause: Trying to inspect variables when the process is running
Solution:

• Set a breakpoint and continue to it, OR
• Use debugger_pause to pause execution immediately

Issue: Breakpoint not hitting

Symptoms: Execution doesn't stop at the breakpoint
Cause: Invalid breakpoint location or code path not executed
Solution:

1. Verify the file path is correct (use absolute paths):

   "file": "/absolute/path/to/your/file.js"  //  Good
   "file": "file.js"                          //  Avoid
   

2. Check that the line number has executable code (not comments or blank lines)
3. Verify the breakpoint is set and verified:

   {
     "tool": "debugger_list_breakpoints",
     "arguments": { "sessionId": "your-session-id" }
   }
   

Issue: Hang detection false positives

Symptoms: Hang detection reports a hang when the script is running normally
Cause: The timeout is too short for the script's normal execution time
Solution:

{
  "tool": "debugger_detect_hang",
  "arguments": {
    "command": "node",
    "args": ["script.js"],
    "timeout": 60000,  // Increase timeout to 60 seconds
    "sampleInterval": 200  // Increase sample interval
  }
}

Issue: TypeScript breakpoints not working

Symptoms: Breakpoints in .ts files don't pause execution
Cause: Source maps are not enabled or not found
Solution:

1. Ensure "sourceMap": true in tsconfig.json:

   {
     "compilerOptions": {
       "sourceMap": true
     }
   }
   

2. Use --enable-source-maps flag when starting Node.js:

   node --enable-source-maps dist/app.js
   

3. Verify .map files exist alongside compiled JavaScript:

   ls dist/*.js.map
   

Issue: "Cannot find module" errors

Symptoms: Module not found errors when starting the server
Cause: The packages haven't been built or dependencies not installed
Solution:

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the packages
npx nx build @ai-capabilities-suite/mcp-debugger-core
npx nx build @ai-capabilities-suite/mcp-debugger-server

# Or if installed globally, reinstall
npm install -g @ai-capabilities-suite/mcp-debugger-server

Issue: WebSocket connection errors

Symptoms: "Failed to connect to inspector" or WebSocket errors
Cause: The Inspector Protocol failed to start
Solution:

1. Ensure Node.js version is 18 or higher:

   node --version  # Should be >= 18.0.0
   

2. Check that no other debugger is attached to the process
3. Verify the process starts successfully:

   node --inspect-brk your-script.js
   # Should output: Debugger listening on ws://...
   

Issue: High memory usage

Symptoms: Server consumes excessive memory
Cause: Too many concurrent sessions or large heap snapshots
Solution:

1. Limit concurrent sessions
2. Stop unused sessions:

   {
     "tool": "debugger_stop_session",
     "arguments": { "sessionId": "session-id" }
   }
   

3. Configure resource limits (see Environment Variables section)

Issue: Slow performance

Symptoms: Debugging operations are slow
Cause: Large objects, deep inspection, or many breakpoints
Solution:

1. Limit object inspection depth:

   {
     "tool": "debugger_inspect_object",
     "arguments": {
       "sessionId": "session-id",
       "objectId": "obj-id",
       "maxDepth": 2  // Limit depth
     }
   }
   

2. Use conditional breakpoints to reduce pauses
3. Remove unnecessary breakpoints
