How do I install Webhook.site MCP Server?

Copy the stdio config for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code on this page. It uses the publisher's install, not a PlugMCP proxy.

Does Webhook.site MCP Server need an API key?

No required environment variable is listed on this record.

What transport does Webhook.site MCP Server use?

Webhook.site MCP Server runs locally over stdio.

When was Webhook.site MCP Server last checked?

Last checked 2026-11-10. Capture HTTP, email, and DNS callbacks with webhook.site from MCP clients.

Webhook.site MCP server

Webhook.site MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for webhook.site - instantly capture HTTP requests, emails, and DNS lookups. Perfect for testing webhooks, debugging API callbacks, security testing, and bug bounty hunting.

Security helper tools (SSRF, XSS, canary tokens) are for authorized testing only — systems you own or have explicit permission to test.

Quick Start

Installation

# Using uvx (recommended - no install needed)
uvx webhook-mcp-server==3.0.0

# Or install via pip
pip install webhook-mcp-server==3.0.0

Use 3.0.0 or newer. 2.1.3 does not start on MCP 2.0; 3.0 renames a few tools (see Upgrading from 2.x).

VS Code / GitHub Copilot

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "webhook-mcp-server": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["webhook-mcp-server==3.0.0"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json (project) or your user MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "webhook-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["webhook-mcp-server==3.0.0"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "webhook-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["webhook-mcp-server==3.0.0"]
    }
  }
}

Configuration

All settings are environment variables on the server process. Put them in the env block of your MCP client config.

Variable	Purpose
`WEBHOOK_SITE_API_KEY`	Your webhook.site API key. Makes new URLs permanent (your plan's quota) and unlocks `list_webhooks`, Custom Actions, Schedules, Global Variables, Groups, Queue Profiles, Templates, Databases, Users and CSV export
`WEBHOOK_SITE_DEFAULT_EXPIRY`	Seconds until new URLs expire when the call does not pass `expiry`. Unset means permanent on a paid account (7 days for anonymous URLs)
`WEBHOOK_MCP_RATE_LIMIT_MAX_WAIT`	When webhook.site answers 429 with a `Retry-After` up to this many seconds (default 15), the call waits and retries once; longer waits are reported as an error naming the wait
`FOLLOW_EMAIL_LINK_ALLOW_HOSTS`	`follow_email_link` only opens links to public internet hosts, and connects to the address it checked (no DNS rebinding). To test a sign-up flow on your own machine or intranet, list what to allow: `localhost,127.0.0.1,*.corp.example,10.0.0.0/8`
`HTTPS_PROXY` / `HTTP_PROXY` / `NO_PROXY`	Honoured by `follow_email_link`. The proxy makes the connection, so the target is checked before the request instead of being pinned
`SSL_CERT_FILE` / `SSL_CERT_DIR`	Custom CA bundle for `follow_email_link`, for corporate TLS interception

If the request to a verification link completes and then redirects somewhere that is not allowed (a local dev server, an intranet dashboard), the tool reports that hop's status with the refused target in blocked_redirect instead of failing: the request that consumed the token already went through, whether or not the site counted it as verified.

What Can You Do?

Capture Webhooks

"Create a webhook and show me the URL"
"What requests have been sent to my webhook?"
"Wait for a request to come in"

Security/Bug Bounty:

"Generate an SSRF payload to test for blind vulnerabilities"
"Create XSS callback payloads to detect blind XSS attacks"
"Make me a canary token to detect if someone accesses a URL"

Email Automation:

"Create a temp email and wait for a password reset link"
"Monitor this webhook for emails and extract all links from them"
"Give me 3 temporary emails at once" (batch creation)

API Testing:

"Create a webhook that returns a 404 error with a custom message"
"Make a webhook with CORS enabled that waits 5 seconds before responding"
"Send 10 different test requests to a webhook and show me all the captured data"
"Hold the next request and answer it with a 402 and this JSON body"

Real-time Monitoring:

"Create a webhook and wait for any HTTP request to arrive"
"Monitor for DNS lookups to detect if a server is making DNS queries"
"Search all requests for ones containing 'password' in the body"

Data Analysis:

"Export all captured webhook requests to JSON format"
"Show me statistics on requests received in the last hour"
"Filter and show only POST requests with specific headers"

Automate with your account:

"Add a Custom Action that forwards every request to my staging API"
"Schedule a health check of https://example.com every 5 minutes and alert on a bad status"
"Write a WebhookScript that answers with the request's JSON field 'id'"

Canary Tokens

"Create a canary URL to track document access"
"Generate a DNS canary for the config file"
"Set up an email tracker pixel"

Tools Reference

Everything works without an account on anonymous 7-day URLs. With WEBHOOK_SITE_API_KEY set, URLs are permanent and the account tools unlock the features of your plan. Every webhook_token accepts the UUID, an alias, a pasted https://webhook.site/... URL or the inbox address. Full parameters for each tool: docs/TOOLS.md.

31 tools, generated from the server by scripts/gen_tool_docs.py.

Diagnostics

Tool	What it does
`server_status`	Check this server's setup: API key, account reachability, plan, real-time socket, env config.

Use that address on the site (sign-up, verify, magic link, or password reset)
wait_for_email — receive the message, confirm / login / reset URLs, and any OTP
follow_email_link to open a verify link, or type verification_codes on the site

If you already have a token, get_webhook_email returns the same inbox.

Create a Webhook

  "token": "abc123-def456-...",
  "url": "https://webhook.site/abc123-def456-...",
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "dns": "abc123-def456-....dnshook.site"
}

Wait for Password Reset Email

// Response from wait_for_email
{
  "email_received": true,
  "subject": "Password Reset Request",
  "from": "[email protected]",
  "auth_links": ["https://example.com/reset?token=xyz789"],
  "verification_codes": ["847291"]
}

{
  "requests": [ ... only what arrived after the cursor ... ],
  "next_since": 1788472548944304

docs/webhook-site-notes.md	What webhook.site actually does, verified live, including where the official docs are wrong
docs/testing.md	The four test layers, recordings, verification scripts, model evals, account safety
docs/releasing.md	Version bumps, tagging, the publish workflow
CHANGELOG.md	Version history

Development

git clone https://github.com/zebbern/webhook-mcp-server.git
cd webhook-mcp-server
pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest -m "not live and not live_auth"     # offline suite incl. replay of recorded live exchanges
python server.py                            # run the server on stdio

The offline suite replays real recorded webhook.site exchanges; the live tool check and the live / live_auth tiers hit the real API. Details in docs/testing.md.

Layout: server.py (entry point and lifespan), handlers/tools.py (tool registrations), services/ (one module per API area), utils/ (HTTP client, real-time socket, URL safety, references), scripts/ (live check, generators, verifiers), evals/ (model-in-the-loop prompts).

Requirements

Python 3.10+
mcp >= 2.0.0
httpx >= 0.26.0, httpcore >= 1.0.0, anyio >= 4.0.0
python-socketio[asyncio_client] >= 5.11.0 (real-time waiting; the tools fall back to polling without it)

Contributing

Bug reports and PRs are welcome. Keep a PR to one change, add a test whose expectation was checked against the real API (see docs/testing.md), and run python scripts/gen_tool_docs.py after touching a tool.
