How this service works
Performs the MCP handshake against a streamable-HTTP endpoint and then reads the catalogue: tools with their input schemas, resources with their URIs and mime types, and prompts with their arguments. Servers answering as an event stream are handled as well as plain JSON, and a session id is carried across calls. Only listing methods are sent — no tool of the inspected server is ever executed, nothing is written, and no resource contents are read.
Output
A structured catalogue of the MCP server's advertised capabilities: tools with names, descriptions, and JSON input schemas; resources with URIs and MIME types; prompts with their argument definitions. A session ID is returned for continuity across calls. No tool is ever executed and no resource content is fetched.
Example use cases
Discovering tools on a new MCP server
“I just set up an MCP server at https://tools.mycompany.com — can you connect to it and show me all the tools it exposes with their parameter schemas so I know what it can do?”
Auditing an MCP server before integration
“Before I wire this third-party MCP server at https://partner.example.com into my agent, can you run the MCP handshake and give me the full list of tools, resources, and prompts it advertises?”
Comparing capabilities across MCP servers
“I have two MCP servers — https://server-a.example.com and https://server-b.example.com — can you inspect both and tell me what tools and resources each one exposes so I can decide which to use?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://agent.halowerk.com/v1/mcp-inspect?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to discover or audit what an MCP-compatible server exposes — its tools, resources, and prompts — before deciding whether to integrate or call it. It is read-only and safe, making it ideal for automated capability discovery, pre-integration audits, and building dynamic agent tool registries. Prefer this over manually inspecting MCP server documentation when the server supports either plain-JSON or SSE streaming responses.
Side effects
- Server URL is unreachable or returns a non-MCP response — HTTP error or empty catalogue returned
- Server does not complete the MCP handshake correctly — protocol error reported
- Streaming event-stream responses that time out before catalogue is fully read
- Session ID mismatch on subsequent calls — session may have expired
