Modern network debugging tool built with Rust. Real-time traffic capture, request interception, rule-based forwarding, Mock, DNS resolution. Debug, mock, and rewrite HTTP/HTTPS traffic with composable rules Cross-platform for macOS, Windows, Linux.
HTTPeep is a new HTTP debugging and proxy tool. AI-native, it supports MCP and CLI.
We’ve tried nearly every debugging proxy out there — Charles, Proxyman, Fiddler, Reqable, HTTP Toolkit. They all handle the basics well, but two problems have never been properly solved:
1. First, rules aren’t centrally managed. Rewrites in one panel, mocks in another, breakpoints somewhere else. A few rules? Fine. But once things get complex, you can’t tell which rule is actually firing. You end up debugging your debug rules.
2. Second, it’s either local-only config that’s lost when you switch machines, or cloud-synced accounts where your data lives on someone else’s server. Local and shareable have always felt like a contradiction.
HTTPeep rethinks this.
All rules live in a single execution pipeline — from matching to request modification to routing to response. Every step is visible. No more hunting across scattered panels.
Rules themselves are files (JSON/YAML). No account required. No login. Fully offline. Your data stays entirely in your hands. Want to share? Put the rule files in a Git repo — your team pulls them down and they’re ready. Local-first, but never isolated.
This is our core philosophy: Local First. We’ve reconciled local ownership and team sharing — not through cloud services, but through the portability of the files themselves.
It also supports AI MCP and CLI capabilities, allowing agents to connect to your Claude Code, Codex, or other coding tools and use them to help troubleshoot network issues.
This frees agents from guessing the final API response by analyzing your code; instead, it empowers AI agents to see the API. This significantly improves troubleshooting efficiency. Let's explore it together—it holds limitless possibilities.
We’re also working on LAN collaboration — sharing debug sessions and rules directly over your local network, enabling team workflows without giving up any data sovereignty.
Built for developers who value simplicity and privacy:
· Indie & solo developers — lightweight, offline-first, works out of the box · Small teams — share rules via Git, no extra collaboration platform needed · Privacy-conscious developers — no account required, no cloud, all data stays local
Available on macOS / Windows / Linux. Public beta is live now.

Hey everyone! I'm Chris, the maker of HTTPeep. @HTTPeep
I built this because I was tired of clunky proxy setups and outdated UIs just to inspect HTTP traffic. HTTPeep is designed to be fast, clean, and AI-native from day one — with CLI and MCP server support for developers who want to integrate network debugging into their workflow.
We're giving away 50 lifetime license keys (6 months of free updates) to early supporters who are willing to put it through its paces and share feedback.

Who hunted HTTPeep?
HTTPeep was hunted by Chris Chen. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
