## Description

GDB MCP Server provides AI-assisted debugging capabilities by integrating GDB (GNU Debugger) with the Model Context Protocol. The implementation creates a bridge between Cursor's AI capabilities and GDB functionality, allowing for interactive debugging sessions through both HTTP and MCP interfaces. It supports core debugging operations including breakpoint management, memory examination, disassembly, and command execution, while handling process discovery and terminal communication via AppleScript. Designed for developers working with C/C++ applications, this server enables AI assistants to help analyze code behavior, identify bugs, and understand program execution flow during debugging sessions.
