PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

Download the maker’s .mcpb file

The link goes to the maker’s own file; we do not host or repackage it. Open the file and Claude Desktop installs it.

Common questions

Is Cloak Proxy safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.7.4) reached the registry 8 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need MCPB on your computer.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: GitHub, Desktop Commander, Cloudflare MCP

Cloak Proxy

See every request your Mac makes. A free, native macOS debugging proxy with an API client built in.

Download · Docs · Release notes · Report a bug

Cloak Proxy decrypts HTTPS, lets you pause, mock and rewrite any request, catches apps that ignore the system proxy, and lets Claude or any MCP client drive it.

  • Free for life. No trial, no license key, no account, no sign-up. Optional: Personal Cloud ($3 a month or $25 a year) adds end-to-end encrypted sync between your Macs and share links; nothing in the app needs it.
  • Native and universal. Swift, for Apple silicon and Intel, macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
  • Local only. No telemetry. Traffic, collections and the root certificate's key stay on your Mac.

What it does

CaptureHTTPS decryption by host or app, traffic grouped by app with icons, HTTP/2, WebSocket, gRPC and GraphQL, and App Capture, a network extension for apps that ignore the system proxy (Go and Rust tools, curl, many Electron apps)
12 debugging toolsBreakpoints, Map Local, Map Remote, Rewrite (no code), Scripting, Block List, Allow List, Network Conditions, DNS Spoofing, No Caching, Mock Sets and Alerts. Any rule can be limited to chosen apps
DevicesOne-click iOS Simulator and Android setup, a certificate page with a QR code for iPhone, iPad and other devices, and Safari, Chrome and Firefox extensions that tag requests with their tab
API clientCollections, environments, tests, flows and monitors, stored as plain files you can keep in Git
InspectJSON tree, jq and JSONPath, Protobuf, request diffs, copy as cURL or 21 other languages, types from JSON
ShareHAR, Charles sessions, CSV, Postman collections and OpenAPI, with secret redaction
AI and securityLLM Inspector (tokens, cost, time to first token and prompt-cache misses for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and Ollama) and an Authorization Matrix that replays traffic as another user to find IDOR bugs
AutomateAn MCP server with 148 tools for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, with secrets redacted, and cloakctl for headless runs in CI

Install

  1. Download Cloak-Proxy.dmg from subcloak.com/apps/cloak-proxy or from Releases.
  2. Optional: check the file with shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/Cloak-Proxy.dmg and compare it with the SHA-256 on the download page or in the release notes.
  3. Drag Cloak Proxy into Applications and open it. It's signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so it opens like any other app.

Step by step, with screenshots: Install Cloak Proxy.

Or with Homebrew: brew install --cask subcloak/tap/cloak-proxy.

Linux (beta): a .deb for Debian and Ubuntu, an RPM for Fedora and RHEL 10, or an AppImage or portable .tar.gz for any distribution with WebKitGTK 6.0, on x86_64 and ARM64, from the same download page or Releases. See Install on Linux.

Why it's free, and why the source isn't public

Subcloak is a security testing company: we test web apps, APIs and AI agents for a living, and a debugging proxy is open on our screens all day. We built Cloak Proxy for our own work and give it away. Security testing pays for it, so nothing in the app is held back to upsell and there's no data to sell: the app has no account, no analytics, and update checks are off until you turn them on. The one paid extra, Personal Cloud, is optional, end-to-end encrypted, and only for syncing between your own Macs and sharing links.

The app's source isn't public. The in-app SDK, CloakProxyKit, is MIT. Releases are signed and notarized by Apple, and SECURITY.md explains how to report issues.
