Download the archive for your platform below (static binaries on Linux), or run it with npx bytepeel / install with npm install -g bytepeel or cargo install bytepeel. Checksums are in SHA256SUMS.

  • npx bytepeel and npx -y bytepeel mcp: the npm package now has a
    bytepeel command that runs the native CLI from a per-platform package
    (bytepeel-linux-x64, -linux-arm64, -darwin-x64, -darwin-arm64,
    -win32-x64), so the CLI and MCP server need no Rust toolchain.
  • An MCP Registry entry (server.json, io.github.Pinta365/bytepeel).
  • A Claude Code plugin (/plugin marketplace add Pinta365/bytepeel) with an
    agent skill that tells the agent when and how to use bytepeel, and the MCP
    server.

v0.1.0

Download the archive for your platform below (static binaries on Linux), or install with cargo install bytepeel. Checksums are in SHA256SUMS.

First release.

Decoding

  • Text layers: hex (any separators, 0x forms), base64 (standard and URL-safe,
    padded or not), PEM (single blocks and bundles), JWT (JWS and JWE, with
    exp/nbf/iat as ISO 8601), and xxd / hexdump -C dumps (including
    nonzero start offsets).
  • Compression: gzip (including concatenated members), zlib and zstd, behind the
    optional deflate and zstd features of bytepeel-core (on in the CLI).
  • Binary formats: DER/ASN.1 (with about 175 named OIDs and encapsulated
    BIT/OCTET STRINGs), CBOR, MessagePack and schemaless protobuf (ranked
    interpretations of LEN fields, packed varint/fixed32/fixed64 alternatives,
    groups, and every varint as uint/int/sint).
  • Layers nest in any order and are detected recursively, including inside
    protobuf string and bytes fields and CBOR/MessagePack byte strings.
  • Ambiguity is reported, never silently resolved: ranked alternatives, and an
    AMBIGUOUS_FORMAT warning when binary formats compete.
  • JSON output with a byte range on every node; 64-bit integers as strings;
    long text and bytes previewed. Also a compact tree outline.

Selecting and editing

  • --get PATH selects one protobuf field, DER element, CBOR/MessagePack
    value or JWT claim; --format raw writes its payload. Paths cross formats.
  • bytepeel set changes (PATH=VALUE), adds (PATH+=VALUE) and removes
    (--del PATH) protobuf fields, CBOR/MessagePack values and DER elements,
    re-encoding every layer in its original style, with every other byte
    preserved. Paths cross formats. Each edit is verified by decoding the
    output again.

Limits

  • Decompression is capped at 64 MiB per stream and 256 MiB per input.
  • At most 1,000,000 protobuf fields, CBOR/MessagePack values and DER elements
    are decoded per input (--max-items).
  • Nesting depth is capped (--depth, default 16).

Interfaces

  • bytepeel: the CLI, with structured JSON errors and stable error codes.
  • bytepeel mcp: a Model Context Protocol server on stdio with peel and
    set tools.
  • bytepeel-core: the Rust library, with no dependencies by default.
  • A WebAssembly build for JavaScript (Node, Deno, Bun, browsers), published
    to npm as bytepeel and to JSR as @pinta365/bytepeel.
