Curlity: A Visual HTTP Viewer MCP So You Can Audit Your AI Coding Agent's API Calls
RefactoringReality · reddit · 2026-10-18
A developer open-sourced Curlity (curlity-mcp), a visual HTTP request/response viewer embedded in Claude/Cursor agent chats. The author argues the real bottleneck isn't agent autonomy but inspectability: agents call APIs well but bury curl flags, escaped JSON, headers, and status codes in terminal scrollback. Curlity renders each agent network call—method, URL, headers, body, status, timing—in a structured UI via MCP, useful for probing backends, checking auth, debugging 4xx/5xx, and verifying payloads. Repo and demo are public.
