VS Code Debugger MCP Server Proxy

Open source proxy that connects stdio-based AI assistants (like Roo Code) to the VS Code Debugger MCP Server extension. Enables debugging features for AI tools by translating stdio requests to HTTP/SSE for seamless Visual Studio Code integration.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "saxxon66-vs-code-debugger-mcp-server-proxy": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "d:/Projekte/MCP/vscode-debugger-mcp-server-proxy/dist/index.js",
        "-p",
        "10101"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DEBUG": "false"
      }
    }
  }
}

You can connect AI assistants that run on stdio to the VS Code Debugger MCP Server by using this proxy. It translates stdio communication into HTTP or SSE so your debugger extension can understand and interact with your toolchain.

How to use

To use this proxy with your MCP client, run the local stdio server that the proxy provides and point your client to the port it exposes. The proxy acts as a bridge between your AI tool and the VS Code Debugger MCP Server extension, allowing your AI to leverage debugging capabilities through a websocket-enabled extension.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Node.js and npm installed, and you should have the VS Code Debugger MCP Server extension installed in VS Code.

# 1. Clone the proxy repository
git clone https://github.com/your-username/vscode-debugger-mcp-server-proxy.git
cd vscode-debugger-mcp-server-proxy

# 2. Install dependencies
npm install

# 3. Build the project
npm run build

Additional configuration and notes

Configure the VS Code Debugger MCP Server extension to use websocket as the transport type. This ensures compatibility with the proxy.

Example MCP configuration for Roo Code

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vscode-debugger": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "d:/Projekte/MCP/vscode-debugger-mcp-server-proxy/dist/index.js", 
        "-p",  
        "10101"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DEBUG": "false"
      },
      "disabled": false,
      "type": "stdio"
    }
  }
}

Security and deployment notes

Ensure the port used by both the proxy and the VS Code Debugger MCP Server extension matches. The example uses port 10101. Keep DEBUG turned off in production unless you need verbose logs.
