About mcptrace

Now implemented in Rust using the rmcp crate for better performance and type safety. The Python implementation is still available in the git history.

Features

  • AI-Powered Kernel Debugging: Enable AI assistants to help you debug complex Linux kernel issues through natural language - no eBPF expertise required

  • Discover System Trace Points: Browse and search through thousands of kernel probes to find exactly what you need to monitor - from system calls to network packets

  • Rich Context and Examples: Access a curated collection of production-ready bpftrace scripts for common debugging scenarios like performance bottlenecks, security monitoring, and system troubleshooting

  • Secure Execution Model: Run kernel traces safely without giving AI direct root access - MCPtrace acts as a secure gateway with proper authentication

  • Asynchronous Operation: Start long-running traces and retrieve results later - perfect for monitoring production issues that occur intermittently

  • System Capability Detection: Automatically discover what tracing features your kernel supports, including available helpers, map types, and probe types
