Deebo (Autonomous Debugging) MCP server for AI agents

Deebo is an autonomous debugging system that allows AI coding agents to delegate bugs using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It runs structured investigations in parallel Git branches to test hypotheses and validate fixes, essentially adding multi-threaded capabilities to your development workflow with AI agents.

Installation Options

Quick Install for Cline/Claude Desktop Users

The simplest way to install Deebo is:

npx deebo-setup

Follow the prompts to configure your API key and you're ready to go.

To verify your installation:

npx deebo-setup ping

Cursor Users

If you're using Cursor, visit https://cursor.directory/mcp/deebo to install Deebo.

Manual Installation

For other setups, follow these steps:

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/snagasuri/deebo-prototype.git
cd deebo-prototype

Install dependencies:
```
npm install
npm run build
```

Configuration

MCP Configuration

You'll need to configure your MCP client to use Deebo. Add the following to your MCP configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deebo": {
      "autoApprove": [],
      "disabled": false,
      "timeout": 30,
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "--experimental-specifier-resolution=node",
        "--experimental-modules",
        "--max-old-space-size=4096",
        "/absolute/path/to/deebo/build/index.js"
      ],
      "env": {
        "NODE_ENV": "development",
        "USE_MEMORY_BANK": "true",
        "MOTHER_HOST": "openrouter",
        "MOTHER_MODEL": "anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet",
        "SCENARIO_HOST": "openrouter",
        "SCENARIO_MODEL": "anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet",
        "OPENROUTER_API_KEY": "sk-or-v1-..."
      },
      "transportType": "stdio"
    }
  }
}

Make sure to replace /absolute/path/to/deebo/build/index.js with the actual path to your Deebo installation, and update the API key accordingly.

Configuration File Locations

Cline: ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json
Claude Desktop: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

LLM Support

Deebo supports multiple LLM providers including OpenRouter, Anthropic, and Gemini models. Configure them using environment variables:

MOTHER_HOST: LLM provider for the mother agent (main coordinator)
SCENARIO_HOST: LLM provider for scenario agents (the workers)
[PROVIDER]_API_KEY: API key for your chosen provider

You can set these in the MCP configuration as shown above.

Usage Examples

When you encounter a bug while working with an AI coding agent, you can delegate it to Deebo which will:

Analyze the bug
Create parallel investigation branches
Test hypotheses
Validate fixes
Report back with solutions

Deebo is designed to work with production codebases and can solve complex issues by spawning multiple scenario agents to explore different approaches in parallel.

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json "deebo" '{"autoApprove":[],"disabled":false,"timeout":30,"command":"node","args":["--experimental-specifier-resolution=node","--experimental-modules","--max-old-space-size=4096","/absolute/path/to/deebo/build/index.js"],"env":{"NODE_ENV":"development","USE_MEMORY_BANK":"true","MOTHER_HOST":"openrouter","MOTHER_MODEL":"anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet","SCENARIO_HOST":"openrouter","SCENARIO_MODEL":"anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet","OPENROUTER_API_KEY":"sk-or-v1-..."},"transportType":"stdio"}'

See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

For Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "deebo": {
            "autoApprove": [],
            "disabled": false,
            "timeout": 30,
            "command": "node",
            "args": [
                "--experimental-specifier-resolution=node",
                "--experimental-modules",
                "--max-old-space-size=4096",
                "/absolute/path/to/deebo/build/index.js"
            ],
            "env": {
                "NODE_ENV": "development",
                "USE_MEMORY_BANK": "true",
                "MOTHER_HOST": "openrouter",
                "MOTHER_MODEL": "anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet",
                "SCENARIO_HOST": "openrouter",
                "SCENARIO_MODEL": "anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet",
                "OPENROUTER_API_KEY": "sk-or-v1-..."
            },
            "transportType": "stdio"
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.

For Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Find your configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this to your configuration file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "deebo": {
            "autoApprove": [],
            "disabled": false,
            "timeout": 30,
            "command": "node",
            "args": [
                "--experimental-specifier-resolution=node",
                "--experimental-modules",
                "--max-old-space-size=4096",
                "/absolute/path/to/deebo/build/index.js"
            ],
            "env": {
                "NODE_ENV": "development",
                "USE_MEMORY_BANK": "true",
                "MOTHER_HOST": "openrouter",
                "MOTHER_MODEL": "anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet",
                "SCENARIO_HOST": "openrouter",
                "SCENARIO_MODEL": "anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet",
                "OPENROUTER_API_KEY": "sk-or-v1-..."
            },
            "transportType": "stdio"
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
