Gdbstub MCP Overview

The gdbstub-mcp MCP server connects AI agents directly to QEMU's built-in gdbstub through the GDB Remote Serial Protocol. It provides session management, register and memory inspection, breakpoints, watchpoints, stepping, disassembly, symbol lookup, and backtraces without invoking gdb. Its x86 fault tool analyzes QEMU interrupt logs to explain exception chains and triple faults. Reach for it when debugging a kernel or other bare-metal program running in QEMU.
