Test and hot-reload MCP servers with CLI inspection tools and transparent proxy capabilities
A dual-mode MCP development tool that operates as both a CLI inspection tool and a transparent proxy server for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Works excellently with VSCode MCP, well with Claude Code, and supports other MCP-enabled clients.
