OpenImageDebugger MCP

Open Image Debugger is a tool for visualizing in-memory buffers during debug sessions, compatible with both GDB and LLDB. It works out of the box with instances of the OpenCV Mat class and Eigen matrices, but can also be customized to work with any arbitrary data structure. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with gdb, lldb and cpp and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in C++.

01 · Install OpenImageDebugger MCP

before you install - you'll need

BREW_PREFIX

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add openimagedebugger-openimagedebugger -- uvx oid-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openimagedebugger-openimagedebugger": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "oid-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package oid-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.OpenImageDebugger is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
