MCP Peek 1.0.0 β€” inspect, run, and proxy any MCP server

MCP Peek is here. πŸŽ‰ A fast, native desktop app for working with Model Context Protocol servers β€” connect, explore, exercise, and turn what you find into context for your coding agents. This first release ships everything you need to go from "what does this server actually expose?" to "here's a brief my agent can use."

πŸ”Œ Connect & explore

  • Connect to MCP servers over HTTP or stdio, with per-server transport, auth, and environment settings.

  • Browse a server's full catalog β€” Tools, Resources, Resource Templates, and Prompts β€” with search, category tabs, and live status.

  • Servers and connections reconnect on launch so you pick up where you left off.

▢️ Run things, fast

  • Schema-aware input forms generated automatically from each tool's JSON Schema β€” including nested objects, arrays, and maps.

  • JSON Skeleton generator for tool inputs: scaffold all fields or required-only, with clear <required>/<optional> markers, and fill from the form (replace or merge).

  • Resource Template inspector with RFC 6570 URI expansion β€” fill the parameters, preview the resolved URI, and read the resource.

  • Saved Inputs to recall named argument sets for any tool.

πŸ”Ž Proxy & observe

  • Proxy mode sits between a client and a server so you can watch the live JSON-RPC flow in real time β€” every request and response, as it happens.

πŸ“‹ Flag & export

  • Flag interesting tools, resources, and prompts as you explore, then export a Markdown brief β€” ready to hand to Claude or any coding agent as context.

  • A context gauge keeps a running token estimate of what you've selected and flagged.

πŸ–₯️ Native on every platform

  • Universal macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel), Windows, and Linux (AppImage + .deb) β€” all code-signed and notarized.

  • Built-in auto-update: a quiet check on launch plus an in-app banner when a new version is ready β€” one click to install and relaunch.

πŸ”’ Private by design

  • All network traffic and telemetry runs in the native core, never the UI. Crash reports are scrubbed of anything sensitive; product analytics are off by default and opt-in.


Free vs Pro: Everything above is free to try. Pro ($19, one-time) unlocks unlimited Saved Inputs and the Export Brief β€” grab a license.
