Setup
Install MCP Reticle in your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and others).
Repository: https://github.com/labterminal/mcp-reticle
Follow the installation instructions in the repository README, then restart your MCP client.
The Wireshark for the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Reticle intercepts, visualizes, and profiles MCP JSON-RPC traffic in real time — designed for microsecond-level overhead.
Quick start·Install·Docs·Security·Contributing
Reticle is a proxy + UI for debugging MCP integrations:
- inspect raw JSON-RPC messages (requests / notifications / responses)
- correlate request ↔ response instantly
- profile latency and token estimates
- capture server stderr and crashes
- record sessions and export logs
Supported transports:stdio,Streamable HTTP,WebSocket,HTTP/SSE.
# npm npm install -g mcp-reticle # pip pip install mcp-reticle # Homebrew brew install labterminal/mcp-reticle/mcp-reticle
Replace your MCP server command withmcp-reticle run --name <name> -- <command...>.
{ "mcpServers": { "filesystem": { "command": "mcp-reticle", "args": ["run", "--name", "filesystem", "--", "npx", "-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/Users/me/work"] } } }
mcp-reticle run --log -- npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-memory
Optional: proxy an HTTP-based MCP server
mcp-reticle proxy --name api --upstream http://localhost:8080 --listen 3001
git clone https://github.com/labterminal/mcp-reticle.git cd mcp-reticle just build
