Reference

The precise, lookup-style reference for mcp-windbg.

  • Command-line options - every flag for the mcp-windbg executable, transports, symbol and CDB paths, and the filter script hooks.
  • Tools - the MCP tools the server exposes, their parameters, and the WinDbg commands that come up most often.
  • Prompts - the built-in dump-triage prompt and its argument.
  • Client configuration - configuration snippets for VS Code, Claude Desktop, and GitHub Copilot CLI, plus pip and from-source installs.

How the pieces relate

flowchart LR
    A["MCP client"] -->|"calls tools"| B["mcp-windbg"]
    B -->|"started with<br/>CLI options"| B
    B -->|"runs commands"| C["cdb.exe"]

You configure the client (clients.md) to launch the executable with CLI options (cli.md); the model then drives the tools (tools.md) during a session.
