Reliability & compatibility
Declared compatibility
Compatibility is declared by the source manifest. End-to-end runtime verification is coming, see below.
We're building live execution health for every listing: tool-call success rate, median latency, uptime, and last-checked timestamps, measured, not self-reported. It isn't live yet, so we don't show numbers we can't stand behind.

MCP Server GDB
A GDB/MI protocol server based on the MCP protocol, providing remote application debugging capabilities with AI assistants.
Features
- Create and manage GDB debug sessions
- Set and manage breakpoints
- View stack information and variables
- Control program execution (run, pause, step, etc.)
- Support concurrent multi-session debugging
- A built-in TUI to inspect agent behaviors so that you can improve your prompt (WIP)
Installation
Pre-built Binaries
Find the binaries in the release page, choose one per your working platform, then you can run it directly.
