DBOS MCP server debugs workflow failures with agents

MCP server exposes DBOS Conductor APIs (list workflows, get workflow, list workflow steps) so Claude Code can autonomously trace and fix production workflow errors.

Summary

Shifts debugging from manual inspection to agentic root cause analysis. Agents can query execution state, identify failed steps, and generate fixes without manual log parsing.

Why it matters

Shifts debugging from manual inspection to agentic root cause analysis. Agents can query execution state, identify failed steps, and generate fixes without manual log parsing.

Implementation verdict

Replaces manual workflow debugging. Requires DBOS Conductor setup and Claude Code integration via `claude mcp add dbos-conductor -- uvx dbos-mcp`. Ready to try now for DBOS users; uses OAuth device flow for auth, no additional secrets needed.

Sources

1.The harder problem is operating them, especially when something goes wrong.
2.The DBOS MCP server provides your agent with a set of workflow-related tools like "list workflows", "get workflow", and "list workflow steps."
3.each tool calls the Conductor API, which lets your agent retrieve information on your application no matter where it's running, as long as it's connected to Conductor
