Hooklistener

Hooklistener MCP Server

Hosted MCP server that lets AI coding agents test webhooks end to end: create a public webhook URL, wait for the webhook to arrive, verify its signature, and replay it to localhost. The same server also covers email inboxes, WebSocket/Socket.IO/MQTT/SSE endpoints, localhost tunnels and uptime monitors.

• Endpoint: https://app.hooklistener.com/api/mcp
• Transport: Streamable HTTP. Nothing to install or run locally.
• Auth: OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and dynamic client registration. Clients request full_access or read_only. A Hooklistener API key (hklst_…) also works as a Bearer token for clients without OAuth.
• Tools: 67, in 7 toolsets. A new workspace lists 26 of them (every webhook tool plus the tool that starts each other product); a toolset appears once you use that product. Send x-hooklistener-toolsets: all to list everything.
• Plans: works on every plan, including Free.

This repository holds the setup instructions and the MCP Registry entry (server.json). The server itself is operated by Hooklistener.

Cline

Cline documents bearer-token headers for remote servers, so use a Hooklistener API key (paid plans, created at Organization Settings → API Keys). In cline_mcp_settings.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "hooklistener": { "type": "streamableHttp", "url": "https://app.hooklistener.com/api/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer hklst_your_api_key" } } } }

Agents installing the server for you can follow llms-install.md.

Other clients

Any MCP client that supports Streamable HTTP can connect with the endpoint above.

What your agent can do

Every tool has a title and read-only/destructive annotations. Full reference: docs.hooklistener.com/mcp/available-tools

Example prompts

• "Create a Hooklistener endpoint for Stripe, trigger a test checkout, and wait for checkout.session.completed."
• "Verify that webhook's signature with my Stripe secret, then replay it to http://localhost:3000/webhooks, re-signed."
• "Create an inbox, sign up with it on staging, and read me the verification code from the email."
• "Save the last three webhooks as a replay suite and run it against localhost after my fix."

Safety

• Read-only access: request the read_only scope and the agent can search, wait for, diff, validate and diagnose traffic, but can't create, edit, delete, replay, forward or send anything.
• Deletes are two-step: preview with dry_run, then confirm.
• Replays and forwards need an idempotency key, so a retried call never sends a webhook twice.
• Credentials are masked in tool results: common secrets in headers, cookies, query strings and JSON bodies.
• Data is scoped to your organization and hosted in Europe.

No account yet?

Agents can create a temporary webhook URL without an account, which the user can claim later. See app.hooklistener.com/llms.txt.
