Proxyman MCP

Proxyman MCP(Model Context Protocol) is a feature that enables AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible tools) to directly interact with the Proxyman macOS app. It allows AI to inspect HTTP traffic, create debugging rules, and control Proxyman - all through natural language conversations.

The architecture consists of two components:

- MCP HTTP Server- Runs inside Proxyman app on localhost with token-based authentication
- MCP CLI Server- A stdio-based MCP server that AI tools connect to, which forwards commands to Proxyman

- Show me the last 10 API requests to api.example.com
- Create a breakpoint for all POST requests to /api/users
- Export the failed request as a cURL command
- Enable SSL proxying for *.stripe.com
- Create a new Script to change the status code, headers, body.
- Create Map Local, Breakpoint Tools with given URL
- Enable MCP in Proxyman

- Open Proxyman → Settings → MCP Tab
- ToggleEnable MCP Server to start the MCP Server

Depend on what your AI Agents are, you have to edit the Agent Settings, to use Proxyman MCP. Here is the sample setting.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "proxyman": { "command": "/Applications/Proxyman.app/Contents/MacOS/mcp-server" } } }

{ "mcpServers": { "proxyman": { "command": "/Applications/Setapp/Proxyman.app/Contents/MacOS/mcp-server" } } }

- Ensure Proxyman is running
- Ask your AI assistant to interact with Proxyman.

- Built-in knowledge base covering iOS, Android, browsers, terminal, VPN, localhost, and third-party libraries
- New commands: answer_setup_question, search_docs, list_setup_workflows, open_proxyman_screen, run_guided_setup, create_reverse_proxy
- MCP resources and prompt templates for chat clients
- Reverse proxy create/list support

- The server binds to127.0.0.1only (no network exposure)
- Per-session cryptographic token stored in~/Library/Application Support/com.proxyman.NSProxy/mcp-handshake.json
- The handshake file has0600permissions (owner-only access)
- Sensitive data (auth tokens, passwords, API keys) is automatically redacted in responses

This is a web browser that enables your coding agent, such as Claude Code, to visit websites on your behalf and assist you in identifying bugs or creating UI test cases.
