01 · Install Debug Recorder

Set DEBUG_RECORDER_DB, DEBUG_RECORDER_REMOTE_HTTP, DEBUG_RECORDER_HTTP_TOKEN, DEBUG_RECORDER_ALLOWED_HOSTS, DEBUG_RECORDER_ALLOWED_ORIGINS before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add oaslananka-debug-recorder-mcp -- npx -y debug-recorder-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "oaslananka-debug-recorder-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "debug-recorder-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

What is Debug Recorder?

Local-first debug memory for MCP clients. Record incidents, commands, failed attempts, successful fixes, diagnostics, and searchable debugging history in SQLite.

Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-08-07 and it shipped 4 releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.

How do I install Debug Recorder?

Run `npx -y debug-recorder-mcp`. The README documents 5 environment variables (DEBUG_RECORDER_DB, DEBUG_RECORDER_REMOTE_HTTP, DEBUG_RECORDER_HTTP_TOKEN…) to set first. Set DEBUG_RECORDER_DB, DEBUG_RECORDER_REMOTE_HTTP, DEBUG_RECORDER_HTTP_TOKEN, DEBUG_RECORDER_ALLOWED_HOSTS, DEBUG_RECORDER_ALLOWED_ORIGINS before connecting. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Debug Recorder run locally?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via npx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
