Get rdbg.

The fastest install is the rdbg-debugger plugin for Claude Code — two slash commands, all five Windows binaries bundled, no separate download. Standalone pre-built binaries are below if you want the daemons without the AI integration. The full source tree is part of the Pro / Enterprise / Embarcadero commercial-support tiers.

v0.19 — Windows

The rdbg-debugger plugin (for Claude Code) is the recommended path — bundles all five Windows binaries and the AI integration. Standalone pre-built binaries, source access, and the wire-protocol schema follow.

rdbg-0.19.31-delphi12ce-bin.zip

Pre-built Windows binaries: rdbgd64.exe (Win64 daemon), rdbgd32.exe (Win32 daemon), rdbgc.exe (CLI), rdbgui.exe (GUI), rdbg-mcp.exe (MCP bridge for AI agents). Same wire on every binary — pick the daemon by target bitness. Compiled with Delphi 12 Community Edition.

rdbg-debugger plugin v0.19.31 (for Claude Code)

The shipped install path for AI-agent integration: install into Claude Code with two slash commands, then drive rdbg with any prompt. Bundles all five Windows binaries (no separate download), plus skills, slash commands, and an autonomous bug-hunter subagent. The MCP bridge auto-switches daemons per launch based on the target's PE machine type, so one config drives both Win32 and Win64 targets. Other MCP-capable agents can wire rdbg-mcp.exe in directly via their own MCP config.

Build from source

Optional — the pre-built binaries above cover most users. Build from source if you want to tweak the daemon, run on a different toolchain, or trust your own compile.

Prerequisites

  • Delphi 11.3 (Alexandria) or later. Forward-compat smoke-tested on 12 and 13.
  • dcc64.exe for the Win64 daemon, plus dcc32.exe for the Win32 daemon. Both ship in the same RAD Studio install — the IDE build (rdbg.groupproj) handles dispatch automatically.
  • Windows 10 or later, x64 host.

IDE build (RAD Studio)

rdbg.groupproj at the repo root is an MSBuild project group. Open in RAD Studio (File → Open Project); the Project Manager shows rdbgd64, rdbgd32, rdbgc, rdbgui, rdbg-mcp, rdbgtest, and the ticker / raisey demo targets. Right-click the group → Build All Projects from Group.

call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\23.0\Bin\rsvars.bat"
:: Per-target builds pin the right Platform automatically
msbuild rdbg.groupproj /t:rdbgd64 /p:Config=Debug
msbuild rdbg.groupproj /t:rdbgd32 /p:Config=Debug
msbuild rdbg.groupproj /t:Build  /p:Config=Debug   :: everything

Artifacts land in bin\ alongside rdbgc.exe, rdbgui.exe, and rdbg-mcp.exe. Requires a full RAD Studio install for MSBuild compilation.

Verify your install

Once the binaries are on PATH, the version check confirms everything's wired:

> rdbgd64 --version
0.19.31

> rdbgd32 --version
0.19.31

> rdbgc --version
0.19.31

:: Trivial console round-trip - launches a tiny test target
:: under the matching daemon. Pick by target bitness.
> rdbgd64 --test-launch bin\test-targets\hello\hello.exe
> rdbgd32 --test-launch bin\test-targets\hello32\hello.exe

Now jump to Getting started for your first real debug session, or the Agent guide if you're driving rdbg from a script or autonomous tool.
