This commit introduces several security and optimization enhancements to the MCP server. Security: - Disabled the `run_in_terminal` function to prevent arbitrary code execution. - Added path traversal protection to the `read_text_file` function. - Sanitized input for the `run_tests_json` function to prevent command injection. Optimization: - Cached the Python executable path to avoid redundant searches. - Cached agent instructions to avoid redundant file reads. - Made the `read_text_file` function asynchronous to prevent blocking the event loop.
This commit implements full web application debugging support using dap_launch and removes all non-functional dap_attach code, cleaning up the codebase. ## Key Changes ### Web App Debugging Implementation - Added Flask debugging example with launcher script (examples/web_flask/run_flask.py) - Created comprehensive automated tests (tests/test_web_app_debug.py) - Demonstrates HTTP-triggered breakpoints in web applications - Tests verify breakpoint hits in loops and variable inspection ### Code Cleanup - Removed dap_attach() function (187 lines) - does not work with debugpy - Removed DirectDAPClient references from mcp_server.py - Simplified StdioDAPClient to launch-only mode - Deleted non-functional attach mode logic ### Documentation Updates - agent_instructions.md: Added "Debugging Web Applications" section - docs/mcp_usage.md: Updated with web app debugging workflow - docs/DEBUGGING_WEB_APPS.md: New comprehensive guide - examples/web_flask/README.md: Complete rewrite with correct workflow - examples/gui_counter/README.md: Added GUI debugging instructions ### New Files - examples/web_flask/run_flask.py: Flask launcher for debugging - examples/gui_counter/run_counter_debug.py: GUI counter launcher - tests/test_web_app_debug.py: Automated web app debugging tests - docs/DEBUGGING_WEB_APPS.md: Comprehensive debugging guide ### Linting & Configuration - Fixed ruff, black, and mypy linting issues - Updated .pre-commit-config.yaml to exclude examples from mypy - Updated pyproject.toml with explicit package bases configuration - Added types-aiofiles for proper type checking ### Why dap_attach was removed The dap_attach approach was investigated but does not work with debugpy. When you run `python -m debugpy --listen`, debugpy does not work with debugpy does not respond to DAP attach requests. dap_launch is the unified solution for all debugging scenarios including web servers, GUI apps, and scripts. ### Test Results All 9 tests passing: - 7 core tests (mcp_server, cli, end-to-end) - 2 new web app debugging tests 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
