MCP tool from MCP Debugger by debugmcp

Start debugging a script

How to use it

Project documentation lists start_debugging for the MCP Debugger MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
