## Description

This MCP server provides AI assistants with comprehensive debugging capabilities through the Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP), built by the Delve team using Go with integration to DAP-compatible debuggers like Delve. The implementation offers complete debugging session management including starting/stopping debuggers, setting line and function breakpoints, controlling program execution (continue, step in/out/over, pause), inspecting program state (threads, stack traces, variables, scopes), evaluating expressions, and attaching to running processes. Built with SSE transport support and extensive DAP client functionality, it serves developers needing AI-powered debugging assistance, teams requiring programmatic control of debugging sessions through conversational interfaces, and applications that need to integrate debugging capabilities into automated workflows with support for multiple programming languages through DAP-compatible debuggers.
