### Description (declared)

# rr-mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for orchestrating multi-process [rr](https://rr-project.org/) debugging sessions.

## Overview

rr-mcp enables AI agents (like Claude) to debug multi-process applications using rr's record-and-replay capabilities. It provides:

- **48 specialized debugging tools** with rich descriptions and usage context
- **Dynamic MCP resources** that expose live session state (`rr://sessions/{id}`)
- **Concurrent replay sessions** for debugging different processes simultaneously
- **Full reverse execution** — step, continue, and finish in both directions
- **Multi-process support** — debug exec'd processes (`pid`) or forked-without-exec children (`fork_pid`)
- **Conditional and temporary breakpoints**, watchpoints, and catchpoints (throw/catch/syscall/signal)

**New to rr debugging?** See [RR_DEBUGGING_GUIDE.md](RR_DEBUGGING_GUIDE.md) for concepts, workflows, and best practices.

## Requirements

- Linux (rr only runs on Linux)
- Python 3.11+
- [rr](https://rr-project.org/) installed and in PATH
- An rr recording to debug

## Installation

### Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add rr-mcp -- uvx rr-mcp
```

### Other MCP clients

Any MCP client that supports stdio servers can run `uvx rr-mcp` (or `pipx run rr-mcp`).

### Installing from source

**For development** (recommended - no reinstall needed after changes):

```bash
git clone https://github.com/jnjaeschke/rr-mcp && cd rr-mcp
uv sync  # Install dependencies

# Configure Claude Code to run from source
claude mcp add rr-mcp -- uv run --directory /absolute/path/to/rr-mcp rr-mcp
```

**For production use**:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/jnjaeschke/rr-mcp && cd rr-mcp
uv tool install .

# Configure Claude Code
claude mcp add rr-mcp -- rr-mcp
```

For other MCP clients, use the appropriate command (`uv run ...` for development or `rr-mcp` for production).

## Usage

Once installed, the server loads automatically when you start your MCP client. Verify it's working by asking:
