The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is becoming the standard for connecting AI assistants to external tools, but developers lacked an easy way to test their servers. Glama has now launched MCP Inspector, a free, browser-based tool that lets you connect to any MCP server URL and interact with its full capabilities directly from your browser.

This tool addresses a common pain point: previously, testing meant managing local environments or logging into platforms that collect your data. MCP Inspector eliminates that friction by running entirely in your browser. It requires no login, proxies nothing, and keeps all server interactions private between you and your server.

The tool supports the complete MCP specification, including tools, resources, prompts, tasks, and OAuth 2.0. It even includes a built-in demo server for learning. For local development with stdio transports, the official MCP Inspector remains the recommended choice. This launch aims to accelerate MCP ecosystem growth by lowering the barrier to entry for developers.
