What HTTPeep is
HTTPeep is a desktop HTTP/HTTPS debugging proxy for developers and QA engineers working on Linux, macOS, or Windows. It captures HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and HTTPS traffic for inspection, with tools for breakpoints, request and response editing, mock responses, replay, and network throttling. Its rules match traffic and run actions through a deterministic pipeline; reusable rules are YAML files that can be version-controlled and shared. HTTPeep can override DNS at the proxy layer without changing the hosts file. The included command-line tool supports traffic capture, session queries, rule management, replay, scripting, and CI workflows. A built-in MCP service documents integrations with Codex, Claude, Kimi, and OpenCode. The maker says captured traffic and configuration remain stored locally. Supported systems are macOS 10.15+, Windows 10+, and Linux with glibc 2.31+. iOS devices can send traffic to HTTPeep on a Mac configured as a Wi-Fi proxy. There is a free plan and a 7-day trial; Professional is a single purchase of 59.00 USD, with no subscription.
