capture

MCP tool from Windbg MCP by gengstah

when true (default), automatically saves full state — registers, stack, memory — to the capture buffer each time this breakpoint fires

How to use it

capture is exposed by the Windbg MCP MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), and the capture tool becomes available to the model automatically. See the full listing for setup details and every tool this server provides.

Install Windbg MCP

$claude mcp add windbg-mcp python C:\path\to\windbg-mcp\windbg_mcp.py
