mcp-dap-server CLAUDE.md

mcp-dap-server CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from go-delve/mcp-dap-server. It costs 2,867 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for an MCP server that lets AI assistants control debuggers through the Debug Adapter Protocol, including Go debugging with Delve and C/C++ debugging with GDB.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing, reviewing, or debugging this MCP server and its debugger tools or guided workflows.
Why use it?
They give the assistant the project overview, architecture, important files, and expected coding patterns before it changes the code.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-dap-server CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Project Overview

This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that bridges MCP clients with DAP (Debug Adapter Protocol) debuggers. It exposes debugging capabilities as MCP tools, allowing AI assistants to programmatically control debuggers. Supports Delve (Go) and GDB (C/C++ via native DAP).

Architecture

Core Components

main.go: MCP server initialization

  • Creates the MCP server using the go-sdk
  • Registers all debugging tools via registerTools()
  • Registers workflow prompts via registerPrompts()
  • Exposes stdio transport

prompts.go: MCP prompt implementations

  • 4 prompt handlers for guided debugging workflows (source, attach, core dump, binary)
  • Registered via server.AddPrompt() — no session state, always available
  • Each prompt returns a GetPromptResult with step-by-step tool invocation guidance

tools.go: MCP tool implementations (~1200 lines)

  • All MCP tools are methods on debuggerSession struct
  • Each tool method signature: func (ds *debuggerSession) toolName(ctx context.Context, _ *mcp.ServerSession, params *mcp.CallToolParamsFor[ParamsType]) (*mcp.CallToolResultFor[any], error)
  • Tools send DAP requests via ds.client and read/parse responses
  • readAndValidateResponse(client, requestSeq, errorPrefix) matches responses by request_seq, skipping unrelated responses
  • readTypedResponse[T](client, requestSeq) matches typed responses by request_seq, skipping unrelated responses
  • Tools that wait for stopped/terminated events loop on ReadMessage() until they receive the expected event

dap.go: DAP client implementation

  • DAPClient manages TCP or stdio connection to DAP server
  • Wraps github.com/google/go-dap protocol messages
  • All DAP request methods return (int, error) where int is the request sequence number
  • Sequence numbers are used to match responses to requests via request_seq field

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

mcp-dap-server CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository go-delve/mcp-dap-server (101 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,867 tokens to every session, about $0.0143 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
