Obsbot MCP vs Dbgprobe MCP Server
In-depth architectural comparison of the Obsbot MCP and Dbgprobe MCP Server MCP servers. Compare execution transports, security boundaries, tool capabilities, quality scores, and ready-to-paste client installation snippets for Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.
At a Glance & Executive Verdict
Obsbot MCP
Embedded System · Local stdio
Quality: 61/100 (Good) | Auth: No auth required
Dbgprobe MCP Server
Embedded System · Local stdio
Quality: 37/100 (Fair) | Auth: No auth required
Verdict Summary: Choose Obsbot MCP if you need specialized Embedded System tools running via a local process. Choose Dbgprobe MCP Server if your workspace requires Embedded System integration with local subprocess execution. Both servers can be configured concurrently in your client's
mcpServers manifest.Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
Choose Obsbot MCP when:
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Embedded System domain.
- You prefer local stdio subprocess transport architecture.
- Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
- Primary tools included: obsbot_devices, obsbot_wake, obsbot_sleep.
Choose Dbgprobe MCP Server when:

Feature & Specification Comparison
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Obsbot MCP Tools (36)
obsbot_devices
List attached OBSBOT cameras with each one's serial (where obtainable), name, and status (`available`/`bound`/`busy`). A `busy` camera is held by another process.
obsbot_wake
Wake the camera/gimbal (sends `"run"`). **Moves the camera:** un-stows the gimbal back to level (pitch ~0). Most control commands also wake it implicitly.
obsbot_sleep
Sleep the camera/gimbal (sends `"sleep"`). **Moves the camera:** stows the gimbal face-down at roughly pitch `84`, so `obsbot_gimbal_position` reads ~84 rather than the pose you left.
obsbot_status
Read the live status block: `{ awake, hdr, faceAe, aiMode, trackSpeed, fovMode, zoomPercent, focusMode, focusPosition }` (`faceAe` = auto-exposure metering for a detected face; `fovMode` = `wide`\
obsbot_gimbal_move
Move the gimbal to an absolute angle. Positive yaw pans to the camera's left, positive pitch tilts down. Yaw clamped to `[-150, 150]`, pitch to `[-90, 90]`. Absolute 1:1 degrees, hardware-verified.
