Disclosure
MIT-licensed open-source MCP server for Windows debugging. It is a wrapper around CDB/WinDbg, so users remain responsible for debugger permissions, target authorization, and crash-dump handling.
MCP Server for WinDbg connects Claude to Windows crash dump analysis and remote
debugging through CDB/WinDbg. It can discover dump files, open crash dumps, run
common triage commands, connect to remote debugging targets, execute reviewed
WinDbg commands, send CTRL+BREAK, and close debugger processes when analysis is
complete.
Use it for Windows crash triage, dump comparison, and debugging workflows where
an engineer wants Claude to help interpret debugger output. It is not an
auto-fix tool; it launches CDB and sends debugger commands on behalf of the MCP
client.
These sources were reviewed on 2026-06-06. Prefer the live repository,
README, PyPI metadata, license, package metadata, server manifest, MCP server
source, CDB process wrapper, CLI entry point, and triage prompt for current
setup and behavior.
Features
Run a stdio MCP server with mcp-windbg or python -m mcp_windbg.
Use optional streamable HTTP transport for reviewed local or controlled
deployments.
List Windows crash dump files from a configured or selected directory.
Open a crash dump and run common analysis commands.
Connect to remote debugging targets with CDB.
Execute custom WinDbg commands against a dump or remote connection.
Send CTRL+BREAK to an active remote debugging target.
Close crash dump and remote debugging targets to release resources.
Configure CDB executable path, symbol path, command timeout, and verbose mode.
If the CDB executable is not auto-detected, pass a reviewed CDB_PATH or use
the documented command-line flag for a custom CDB path.
Use Cases
Ask Claude to list available crash dumps in an approved dump directory.
Open a dump and summarize exception, thread, stack, and module output.
Run reviewed commands such as stack inspection, module listing, or heap
analysis.
Compare multiple dumps for repeated failure patterns.
Connect to a remote debugging target when live debugging is authorized.
Interrupt a hanging remote target with CTRL+BREAK and inspect thread state.
Safety and Privacy
Debugger access is powerful. Use WinDbg MCP only on dumps, directories, and
remote targets you are authorized to inspect. Review every command before it is
sent to CDB, especially commands that modify debugger state, interrupt live
targets, load extensions, or disclose broad memory and environment details.
Crash dumps often contain sensitive memory and diagnostic context. Treat dump
files, debugger output, symbol paths, remote connection strings, module names,
stack traces, command logs, and analysis summaries as confidential unless they
have been sanitized for sharing.

How it compares
WinDbg MCP Server side by side with 3 alternatives on trust, install, platform support, and disclosed safety notes — all from reviewed registry metadata.
MCP server that connects Claude to Windows CDB/WinDbg for crash dump discovery, dump triage, remote debugging targets, custom debugger commands, debugger cleanup, and CTRL+BREAK interrupts.
Official Agentset MCP server that lets Claude retrieve cited knowledge-base results from an Agentset namespace through the `knowledge-base-retrieve` tool, with optional tenant scoping and custom tool descriptions.
PortSwigger's Burp Suite MCP Server extension connects Burp Suite to MCP clients through an SSE server or packaged stdio proxy for request, Repeater, Intruder, history, scanner, Collaborator, and configuration workflows.
Local-first codebase intelligence MCP server that indexes repositories with tree-sitter, stores searchable chunks in DuckDB, and gives Claude semantic search, regex search, daemon status, and deep code research tools.
✓WinDbg MCP starts CDB processes and can run arbitrary WinDbg commands supplied through the MCP tool call.
Remote debugging tools can attach to live targets, inspect process state, send CTRL+BREAK, and interrupt execution.
Crash dump analyses and remote connections remain active until closed or the CDB process is terminated.
Symbol paths can fetch symbols from network symbol servers and can disclose module names, versions, and debugging context.
Do not expose streamable HTTP mode beyond a trusted host without transport security, authentication, and network controls.
✓The MCP server sends Claude's retrieval queries to the Agentset API using the configured API key and namespace.
The `knowledge-base-retrieve` tool can return up to 100 results per call and can rerank results by relevance.
Namespace and tenant selection control which indexed documents are searchable; review them before connecting a shared agent.
API keys should be scoped, rotated, and stored only in the MCP server environment or a secret manager.
Custom tool descriptions can influence when the model calls the retrieval tool, so review them before use in production workflows.
✓Burp Suite MCP Server can send HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 requests, create Repeater tabs, send requests to Intruder, toggle Proxy Intercept, pause or resume Burp's task execution engine, and update the active message editor.
In Burp Suite Professional it can also expose scanner issues and generate or poll Collaborator payloads for out-of-band testing.
The extension includes approval flows for outbound HTTP requests and sensitive data access, but users can configure always-allow targets and disable some approval requirements.
Configuration editing tools can import project-level or user-level Burp options when enabled in the extension, which can change proxy, scanner, target, and other Burp behavior.
Use only on systems and applications where testing is authorized; active requests, Intruder traffic, scanner workflows, and Collaborator payloads can affect third-party services.
Keep the MCP server bound to trusted local interfaces and avoid exposing the SSE server to untrusted networks.
✓ChunkHound reads source files, Markdown, text, PDFs, and supported config files under the target directory and stores indexed chunks in a local database.
Realtime indexing and daemon mode can continue watching project files after the initial MCP connection.
Code research and web search tools require embedding, reranking, and LLM configuration and may invoke local CLIs or external model APIs depending on settings.
Exclude generated files, vendored dependencies, secrets, large artifacts, and unrelated repositories before indexing broad workspace roots.
Review MCP client configuration carefully when using an absolute project path in a global Claude Desktop config.
Privacy notes
✓Crash dumps can contain memory, stack values, command lines, environment variables, file paths, registry data, sensitive values, PII, customer data, and proprietary code or symbols.
WinDbg output, dump paths, remote connection strings, symbol paths, module lists, thread stacks, exception records, and debugger command output may be visible to the MCP client and model provider.
Verbose logs, command transcripts, dump triage prompts, and saved analysis results can retain sensitive crash data after use.
Redact dump paths, remote endpoints, symbols, process details, and command output before sharing logs, screenshots, or PR comments.
✓Retrieved chunks can include private documents, product specs, policies, support content, internal procedures, historical project information, or customer-specific data.
Retrieval queries, namespace IDs, tenant IDs, document chunks, citations, and tool outputs may be visible to the MCP client, model provider, Agentset logs, and application telemetry.
Tenant IDs are useful for data segregation, but incorrect tenant or namespace configuration can expose the wrong knowledge base.
Do not paste API keys, namespace IDs, tenant IDs, or retrieved private chunks into shared issue reports, screenshots, or repository files.
✓Proxy HTTP history, WebSocket history, Organizer items, scanner issues, request and response bodies, headers, cookies, tokens, session identifiers, and Collaborator interaction data may be returned to the MCP client.
The extension can read project-level and user-level Burp configuration; upstream code filters some configuration credentials when configured, but users should still treat exported options as sensitive.
MCP prompts, responses, Burp logs, and client transcripts can retain target URLs, credentials, payloads, vulnerability details, and proprietary application behavior.
The stdio proxy and SSE server bridge Burp traffic into the MCP client process; keep client configs, proxy paths, and Burp project files protected.
✓Indexed chunks, file paths, symbols, comments, Markdown, PDFs, configuration values, database files, daemon state, and search results can reveal proprietary source code and internal architecture.
Embedding, reranking, LLM, and web search providers may receive code-derived queries or snippets if configured.
Local ChunkHound database files, logs, daemon state, and MCP transcripts may retain code-derived context after the session ends.
Avoid sharing ChunkHound databases, config files with API keys, verbose logs, research outputs, and screenshots from private repositories.
