**Curlity:** A visual HTTP request/response system for AI-driven development, designed to replace curl spaghetti in any coding agent chat.
Your agent reaches for curl. You get a wall of flags, escaped JSON, and a response buried in terminal noise. Curlity swaps that mess for a real request/response viewer — right in your chat using MCP App.
## Why use it
Agents are great at calling APIs. They're terrible at showing you what they just did.
| Without Curlity | With Curlity |
| ----------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| Opaque `curl` in a shell | Structured request + response UI |
| Headers and body lost in scrollback | Method, URL, headers, body — readable |
| Status codes mixed into stdout | Status, timing, and payload when it lands |
Use Curlity when your agent hits APIs, debugs backends, or probes endpoints — so you can actually *see* the traffic instead of decoding shell output.
## Install

**Claude Code:**
```bash
claude mcp add curlity-mcp -- npx -y curlity-mcp
```
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"curlity-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "curlity-mcp"]
}
}
}
```
## Development
```bash
git clone https://github.com/ELK4N4/curlity-mcp.git
cd curlity-mcp
npm install
npm run dev
```
| Command | Description |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| `npm run dev` | Watch-build UI + HTTP server on `http://localhost:3002/mcp` |
| `npm run build` | Type-check + compile server + bundle UI |
| `npm run typecheck` | Type-check only (no emit) |
| `npm start` | Watch UI + server via stdio |
### Local config (development)
Point your MCP client at a local checkout (watches files, then runs via stdio):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"curlity-mcp": {
"command": "bash",
"args": [
"-c",
"cd ~/curlity-mcp && npm start --silent"
]
}
}
}
```
