🔧 MCP Workbench

A web-based testing platform for MCP servers — think "Postman for MCP"

License: MIT

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is Anthropic's open protocol that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and data sources. As of August 2026, there are 1000+ community MCP servers, but testing and debugging them is painful.

Our Solution

MCP Workbench gives you a visual, zero-config web interface to:

  • ✅ Connect to any MCP server instantly
  • ✅ See available tools and their schemas
  • ✅ Test tool calls with parameters
  • ✅ Debug with a live JSON-RPC console
  • ✅ Get compatibility reports

No terminal. No config files. No cryptic stdio errors.

  • Deployment: Cloudflare Tunnel (temporary) → Vercel (soon)

🛠️ Local Development

# Clone
git clone https://github.com/s63jp/mcp-workbench.git
cd mcp-workbench

# Install dependencies
npm install

# In another terminal, start the frontend
npm run dev

# Or use the Cloudflare tunnel for public access
cloudflared tunnel --url http://localhost:3460

📋 Roadmap

  • MVP with basic MCP connection
  • Beta signup landing page
  • WebSocket proxy for real-time testing
  • User accounts and saved configurations
  • Compatibility reports (Claude, Cursor, VS Code)
  • Team workspaces
  • CI/CD webhook integration
  • Public MCP server directory
