Development platform to debug, chat, inspect, and evaluate MCP servers, MCP apps, and ChatGPT apps.

MCPJam Inspector is a comprehensive development platform for MCP servers, apps, and ChatGPT applications. It offers robust tools for debugging, chatting with LLMs, inspecting server components, and evaluating performance, thereby streamlining the development workflow without requiring external services like ngrok or separate LLM subscriptions. It supports multiple deployment methods, including a hosted web app, desktop applications, and a terminal-based CLI/SDK, facilitating flexible iteration and seamless integration into CI/CD pipelines.
