What HTTPeep is

HTTPeep is a cross-platform HTTP/HTTPS debugging proxy for developers and QA engineers. It captures HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2 and HTTPS traffic for inspection, with tools for request and response editing, breakpoints, mock responses, replay and network throttling. Its rules match traffic and run actions through a deterministic pipeline. Reusable rules are stored as YAML files that can be version-controlled and shared. HTTPeep can override DNS at the proxy layer without editing the hosts file. The bundled 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 stay 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. The listing includes a free plan and a 7-day trial. Professional is a single purchase of 59.00 USD, with no subscription.
