Deebo is an agentic debugging copilot that works alongside your AI coding agent to accelerate debugging by 10x. It introduces "multi-threaded" capabilities to your development workflow by launching automated investigations into software errors, helping you identify and fix issues more efficiently.

Installation

You can quickly install Deebo using the npm package manager:

npx deebo-setup@latest

This automated setup will guide you through the installation process.

Manual Configuration

If you prefer to configure Deebo manually after running the setup, you'll need to create a configuration file at the location specified by your coding agent. The configuration should include both the guide server and the main Deebo server:

{
  "servers": {
    "deebo-guide": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "--experimental-specifier-resolution=node",
        "--experimental-modules",
        "/Users/[your-name]/.deebo/guide-server.js"
      ],
      "env": {},
      "transportType": "stdio"
    },
    "deebo": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "--experimental-specifier-resolution=node",
        "--experimental-modules",
        "--max-old-space-size=4096",
        "/Users/[your-name]/.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": "deepseek/deepseek-chat",
        "OPENROUTER_API_KEY": "your-openrouter-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Be sure to replace [your-name] with your actual username and add your OpenRouter API key. Deebo is compatible with OpenAI-compatible SDKs, Anthropic, Gemini, and OpenRouter.

Using Deebo

Starting a Debugging Session

When you encounter a difficult bug, ask your AI agent to delegate the debugging task to Deebo:

  1. Provide the error message, stack trace, or description of the problematic behavior
  2. Include the absolute path to your Git repository
  3. Share any relevant context, such as previous attempts, code snippets, or reproduction steps

Example request to your agent:

This error is happening in /path/to/repo, possibly related to auth logic. I already checked the session token parser. Can you delegate this to Deebo?

Your agent will initiate a Deebo session and provide you with a session ID (e.g., session-1745...). Make note of this ID.

Checking Investigation Progress

After approximately 30 seconds, ask your agent to check the status of your Deebo session using the session ID. You'll receive a "session pulse" that includes:

  • The current status of the investigation (in progress or completed)
  • What aspects of the code Deebo is currently examining
  • A summary of any findings so far

Adding Observations (Optional)

If you notice something important or want to guide Deebo's investigation in a specific direction, you can ask your agent to pass an observation to Deebo:

Let Deebo know that the file size warnings might be a red herring — the issue is probably with the CI env vars.

Canceling a Session (Optional)

If you've resolved the issue or no longer need the investigation, you can tell your agent to cancel the Deebo session.

For AI Agents: Memory Bank Access

When asked to check debug session progress, agents can look in:

~/.deebo/memory-bank/[project-hash]/sessions/[session-id]/logs/

The project hash is a unique identifier for each repository, and session IDs are provided when starting a debug session.

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:

            "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"
        }
    }
}
