About claude-debugs-for-you

Enable any LLM (e.g. Claude) to interactively debug any language for you via MCP and a VS Code Extension
The MCP server exposes interactive debugging capabilities—setting breakpoints, evaluating expressions, and inspecting stack frames—through a standardized tool interface that any LLM client can consume. It bridges VS Code's native debugger (via launch.json) with Claude or other models, supporting both stdio transport (for Claude Desktop) and SSE endpoints (for Cursor/Continue), making it language-agnostic across Python, JavaScript, and other debugger-enabled runtimes.
About mcp-server-vscode
malvex/mcp-server-vscode
Give Claude Code direct access to VS Code's code navigation, error checking, and debugging tools through the Model Context Protocol.
Exposes VS Code's language server capabilities (go-to-definition, find references, diagnostics, symbol search, call hierarchy) and debugger control (breakpoints, stepping, variable inspection, expression evaluation) as 25 MCP tools. Uses a three-tier architecture where a VS Code extension exposes an HTTP API on localhost:8991, a standalone MCP server bridges stdio-to-HTTP communication, and Claude Desktop connects via stdio transport—enabling seamless AI-assisted code navigation and interactive debugging workflows.
