Manual config

For any tool that reads an MCP config JSON file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "webhooks-cc": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@webhooks-cc/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "WHK_API_KEY": "whcc_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Registry and client support

@webhooks-cc/mcp is published on npm and indexed in the Model Context Protocol ecosystem so AI coding agents can discover and install it directly:

  • npm package: @webhooks-cc/mcp (npx -y @webhooks-cc/mcp)
  • Official MCP Registry: io.github.webhooks-cc/mcp (server.json schema validated in CI)
  • Glama & Smithery: Ships with glama.json metadata and stdio transport support for zero-config inspection
  • Supported MCP clients: Claude Code (claude mcp add webhooks -- npx -y @webhooks-cc/mcp), Cursor, VS Code (GitHub Copilot), OpenAI Codex, Windsurf, and Claude Desktop

Available tools

The MCP server exposes 38 tools your AI agent can call. Without an API key, 10 sandbox tools are available (see below).

Provider-aware testing

Agents can inspect provider metadata, send realistic templates, then read the captured request with the provider and event visible in the dashboard.

You: "List the Typeform webhook templates and send a form_response to my endpoint"
Agent: [calls list_provider_templates with provider: "typeform"]
Agent: [calls send_webhook with provider: "typeform", template: "form_response", secret: "..."]
Agent: Captured POST request detected as Typeform / form_response

The same flow works for Stripe, GitHub, Shopify, Twilio, Slack, Paddle, Linear, SendGrid templates, Clerk, Discord templates, Vercel, GitLab, Typeform, Standard Webhooks, DocuSign, Adyen, PayPal templates, and Plaid templates.

For provider templates in send_webhook, secret is required for every signed provider (only sendgrid, discord, and plaid templates are unsigned and need no secret). The MCP server does not inject a default secret.

Endpoint management

ToolDescription
create_endpointCreate a new webhook endpoint
list_endpointsList all your endpoints
get_endpointGet details for an endpoint by slug
update_endpointUpdate an endpoint name or mock response
delete_endpointDelete an endpoint and its requests
create_endpointsCreate multiple endpoints in one call (1-20)
delete_endpointsDelete multiple endpoints in one call (1-100)

Sending and testing

ToolDescription
send_webhookSend a test webhook (manual or provider template) to an endpoint
send_toSend a signed webhook directly to any URL (localhost, staging, etc.)
preview_webhookPreview a webhook request without sending it
test_webhook_flowRun a full test flow: create, mock, send, wait, verify, replay, cleanup

Request management

ToolDescription

wait_for_requestWait for an incoming request (polling)
wait_for_requestsWait for multiple incoming requests
search_requestsSearch requests across endpoints with full-text search
count_requestsCount requests matching filters

Request analysis

ToolDescription
replay_requestReplay a captured request to a target URL
compare_requestsCompare two requests and show structured differences
extract_from_requestExtract specific JSON fields from a request body
verify_signatureVerify the webhook signature on a captured request

Emails

Every endpoint receives email at {slug}@mailhooks.cc, and at {slug}+{tag}@mailhooks.cc for any tag.

ToolDescription
list_emailsList an endpoint's emails with subject, sender, tag, code and link
get_emailGet one email by ID, or the newest at an endpoint, with its code and link
wait_for_emailWait for an email to arrive (for example after a signup), then return it
send_test_emailDeliver a sample email with a code and a link, optionally to a +tag

Forwarding

ToolDescription
configure_forwardingSet where and how captured requests and emails are forwarded, and turn it on or off
get_forwarding_secretRead or rotate the signing secret for forwarded deliveries
test_forwardingSend the newest request (or a sample) to the forwarding URL once and report the answer
list_deliveriesThe delivery log and its counts for an endpoint, or every try of one request
redeliverForward one request again, or every failed one

Teams

ToolDescription
list_teamsList the teams you own or belong to, with their pooled quota
list_team_membersList a team's members and pending invites
share_endpointShare an endpoint you own with a team
unshare_endpointStop sharing an endpoint you own with a team

Utilities

ToolDescription
list_provider_templatesList supported providers, templates, and signing metadata
get_usageCheck current request usage, quota, and plan
describeDescribe all available SDK operations

Without an API key: the agent sandbox

Started without WHK_API_KEY, the server still works. It offers create_endpoint, list_endpoints, get_endpoint, delete_endpoint, list_requests, get_request and wait_for_request with the same names and arguments as above, backed by the agent sandbox: up to 3 temporary endpoints, 25 captured requests each and 100 in all, for 24 hours. The first create_endpoint registers the sandbox, which takes a few seconds of proof of work.

To get everything else, the agent connects to your account: connect_account with your email returns a link and a 6-digit code, you sign in (or sign up) and enter the code, and wait_for_connection then swaps in the full tool set for your account, sandbox endpoints included. about_sandbox explains the limits without a network call. The connection lasts while the server runs; for a lasting setup, create an API key and set WHK_API_KEY.

Prompts

The MCP server provides 3 prompt templates for common workflows:

  • debug_webhook_delivery: diagnose why webhook delivery is failing or missing
  • setup_provider_testing: set up webhook testing for a specific provider
  • compare_webhook_attempts: compare two webhook deliveries or retries

Resources

Three resources provide read-only access to your webhook data:

  • endpoints-overview (webhooks://endpoints): all endpoints with recent activity
  • endpoint-recent-requests (webhooks://endpoint/{slug}/recent): last 10 requests at an endpoint
  • request-details (webhooks://request/{id}): full details of a specific request

Resources return emails without the raw message or the HTML part, like the request tools.

Example conversation

With the MCP server connected, you can talk to your AI agent naturally:

You: "Create a webhook endpoint for testing Stripe"
Agent: Created endpoint "stripe-test" at https://go.webhooks.cc/w/abc123
 
You: "Set it to return 201 with {"received": true}"
Agent: Updated mock response for stripe-test
 
You: "Send a Stripe checkout.session.completed template webhook to stripe-test"
Agent: Sent signed Stripe template to stripe-test
 
You: "Show me what was captured"
Agent: 1 request captured:
  POST /w/abc123 - stripe-signature + checkout.session.completed payload
 
You: "Replay that to my local server"
Agent: Replayed to http://localhost:3000/webhooks - got 200 OK
