Connect to any MCP server, browse its capabilities, and execute tools, read resources, and test prompts — all from your browser.\n\n![Python 3.13+](https://img.shields.io/badge/python-3.13%2B-blue)\n![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-green)\n\n## Features\n\n- **Connect to any MCP server** — supports both Streamable HTTP and SSE transports (auto-detects)\n- **Authentication** — Bearer token, custom header, or no auth\n- **Browse Tools** — list all tools, view schemas, fill in parameters, and execute them\n- **Browse Resources** — list and read resources exposed by the server\n- **Browse Prompts** — list prompts, fill in arguments, and retrieve rendered output\n- **Parameter Store** — save and reuse frequently used parameter values across sessions\n- **URL History** — remembers previously connected server URLs\n- **Clean UI** — minimal, responsive interface with tabbed navigation\n\n## Quick Start\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- Python 3.13+\n- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) (recommended) or pip\n\n### Install \u0026 Run\n\n```bash\n# Clone the repo\ngit clone https://github.com/ventz/mcp-explorer.git\ncd mcp-explorer\n\n# Install dependencies\nuv sync\n\n# Run the server\nuv run python app.py\n```\n\nOpen [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000) in your browser.\n\n### Using pip\n\n```bash\npip install fastapi 'uvicorn[standard]' jinja2 mcp\npython app.py\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n1. Enter an MCP server URL (e.g., `http://localhost:3000/mcp`)\n2. Optionally configure authentication (Bearer token or custom header)\n3. Click **Connect**\n4. Use the tabs to explore **Tools**, **Resources**, and **Prompts**\n5. Select an item to view its details, fill in parameters, and execute\n\n## Project Structure\n\n```\nmcp-explorer/\n├── app.py              # FastAPI backend — MCP client + API routes\n├── pyproject.toml       # Python project metadata \u0026 dependencies\n├── templates/\n│   └── index.html       # Main HTML template\n└── static/\n    ├── app.js           # Frontend application logic\n    └── style.css        # Styles\n```\n\n## API Endpoints\n\n| Method | Path                | Description                  |\n|--------|---------------------|------------------------------|\n| GET    | `/`                 | Web UI                       |\n| POST   | `/api/connect`      | Connect to an MCP server     |\n| POST   | `/api/disconnect`   | Disconnect                   |\n| GET    | `/api/status`       | Connection status             |\n| GET    | `/api/tools`        | List available tools         |\n| POST   | `/api/tools/call`   | Execute a tool               |\n| GET    | `/api/resources`    | List available resources     |\n| POST   | `/api/resources/read` | Read a resource            |\n| GET    | `/api/prompts`      | List available prompts       |\n| POST   | `/api/prompts/get`  | Get a rendered prompt        |\n\n## License\n\nMIT\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fventz%2Fmcp-explorer","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fventz%2Fmcp-explorer","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fventz%2Fmcp-explorer/lists"}
