What the publisher says
From the MCP Debug Recorder repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
debug-recorder-mcp
Local-first debug memory for MCP clients. Record incidents, commands, failed attempts, successful fixes, diagnostics, and searchable debugging history in SQLite.

Why this exists
Debugging knowledge usually disappears into chat windows, terminals, and commit history. debug-recorder-mcp gives MCP-enabled agents and IDEs a durable local memory so they can answer:
“Have I fixed this before?”
It stores each debugging session, error, command, attempted fix, working fix, tags, and context in a local SQLite database. Search combines SQLite FTS5 with fuzzy reranking, reusable presets, pagination metadata, related-session groups, and optional Markdown exports.
Highlights
- Local-first storage: no external database or hosted service required.
- MCP-native tools: stdio server for desktop MCP clients plus optional Streamable HTTP mode.
- Search that survives messy errors: FTS5 + Fuse.js reranking for stack traces, typos, Unicode, and punctuation-heavy logs.
- Reusable search presets: save common filters and limits for recurring incident patterns.
- Safe operations: redaction-before-store option, explicit destructive confirmations, local HTTP host/origin/auth/body-limit hardening.
- Diagnostics: get_diagnostics returns redacted runtime, schema, package, and health signals for support without leaking raw paths, tokens, stack traces, or command output.
- Release-grade packaging: audit, coverage, fuzzing, package-size gates, SBOM/VEX policy, install-script approvals, provenance-ready release workflow, and MCP Registry readiness checks.
Quick start
Requires Node.js 22 LTS or 24 LTS and npm 10+.
