Summary

  • Add MCP Inspector (ghcr.io/modelcontextprotocol/inspector) as a docker-compose service behind the inspector profile
  • Add Makefile targets: inspector-up, inspector-down, inspector-logs, inspector-status
  • Include inspector in make testing-up so the testing stack ships with an interactive MCP client out of the box

Usage

# Standalone
make inspector-up        # http://localhost:6274

# Or as part of the testing stack
make testing-up

Then in the Inspector UI:

  1. Select transport: Streamable HTTP
  2. URL: http://nginx:80/servers/9779b6698cbd4b4995ee04a4fab38737/mcp
  3. Add header Authorization: Bearer <jwt-token>
