MCPJam Inspector

Test + develop ChatGPT apps and MCP apps (ext-apps) locally

Website mcpjam.com
Overview

What it is

MCPJam inspector is the local testing tool for ChatGPT apps and MCP servers. Build your apps locally with MCPJam's widget emulator and test against any LLM in the playground. Inspect your MCP server’s tools, resources, prompts, and OAuth flows. No more ngrok or ChatGPT subscription needed.

Intent

I need it when

Debug OAuth authentication flows and protocol conformance

MCPJam Inspector includes an OAuth debugger that traces every redirect, token exchange, and scope grant. It validates MCP protocol conformance against multiple spec versions and tests all client registration methods (DCR, pre-registration, CIMD).

Test MCP servers locally before deployment to production

MCPJam Inspector allows developers to run MCP servers locally with direct tool call inspection, JSON-RPC request/response logging, and error tracking. This enables validation of server behavior and reliability before users interact with it, reducing production issues.

Preview and test ChatGPT Apps and MCP Apps UI locally without public endpoint

MCPJam provides a local emulator for ChatGPT Apps and MCP Apps with live UI rendering across desktop, tablet, and mobile layouts. Developers can inspect windows.openai API calls, test tool execution, and validate responsive design without exposing localhost or requiring ChatGPT subscription.

Debug agent behavior and tool selection in AI chat workflows

MCPJam provides a local AI chat client where developers can send prompts to agents and trace which tools are selected, what arguments are passed, and what responses are returned. Full trace per turn shows latency and token counts, enabling optimization of agent behavior.

Compare LLM model performance for the same MCP server prompt

MCPJam's chat feature supports three models (GPT-4.5, Opus 4.7, Gemini 3.1) allowing developers to test identical prompts across models and compare latency, token usage, and quality in one interface.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User needs production-grade compliance features like SSO/SAML, audit logs, or DPA without Enterprise plan
  • Organization requires self-hosted or hybrid deployment options (only available on Enterprise)
  • Team needs more than 3 projects or custom seat limits (Community tier limited to 1 seat, 3 projects)
  • User requires priority support or uptime SLA guarantees (only on Enterprise)
  • Developer needs frontier LLM models without rate limiting (rate-limited on Community tier)
