About hechtcarmel/jetbrains-debugger-mcp-plugin

A JetBrains IDE plugin that exposes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. It gives AI coding assistants programmatic control over the debugger, allowing them to set breakpoints, step through code, and inspect variables.

Best for

Developers using JetBrains IDEs who want to integrate AI assistants into their debugging workflow

Use cases

  • Automating breakpoint management during debugging sessions
  • Controlling step execution from an AI assistant
  • Inspecting variables and stack traces programmatically

Notes

80 stars on GitHub. Last updated 2026-05-22. Licensed MIT.

Pros

  • Enables AI assistants to interact directly with the JetBrains debugger
  • Leverages the mature debugging infrastructure of JetBrains IDEs
  • Open source with a Kotlin codebase for easy customization

Cons

  • Requires a JetBrains IDE and an MCP-compatible AI assistant
  • Limited to debugger control, not other IDE features
  • Small community with 80 stars, so limited support and documentation
