Actually for the _JS_ debugger (breakpoints etc) we're just utilizing the v8 debugger protocol: 

http://code.google.com/p/v8/wiki/DebuggerProtocol

The v8 messages are wrapped in a meta-protocol, but that's fairly simple. The other parts of the QML tooling (inspector, console, profiler ...) have their own protocols ...

Feel free to grab Aurindam or me on IRC (e.g. #qt-creator channel on freenode) if you need help, or if you have questions.

Well, what we've been pondering about is providing a fairly simple command line debugger, more of a tech demo. I don't see us providing a full blown standalone GUI debugger as part of Qt ...
