Frequently asked questions

What is an MCP inspector?

A tool that connects to a Model Context Protocol server and lists what it offers AI agents: tools, prompts and resources.

How is it different from npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector?

The official inspector runs on your machine and also supports stdio servers. This one runs in the browser and works with remote servers only.

Do I need to be a developer?

No. Each tool is described in plain language, with labels for actions that only read data or can change or delete it.

Can I test a server that uses OAuth?

Yes. Press Authenticate and sign in the way an AI agent's user would.

Can I inspect a server on localhost or a private network?

No. The server needs a public HTTPS URL.

Is it free?

Yes, and you don't need an account.

How to delete all stored data?

Everything the inspector keeps stays in your browser: the servers you inspected, your sign-ins and any headers you added. Click the address field to see your recent servers, then press × next to each one. That deletes everything kept for it. MCP Tower never stores your sign-ins, header values or tool arguments.
