Overview
A testing and development tool for interacting with and debugging MCP (Multi-Modal Chat Protocol) servers, functioning like a specialized Postman for AI services.
Installation
No command providedSecurity Notes
The tool is designed for local development, running its backend and frontend on localhost with explicit 'localhost-only access'. It handles OAuth tokens locally in a SQLite database (~/.hoot/hoot-mcp.db) for persistence. Stated security features include session-based authentication, rate limiting, and audit logging. The primary risk would be connecting to a user-specified malicious MCP server, which is a user-initiated action and not an inherent vulnerability of the tool itself.
