What problem does it solve?

Add MCP Inspector to a .NET Aspire AppHost for debugging MCP servers like Data API Builder. Use when asked to inspect MCP traffic, debug MCP connections, or add MCP Inspector to Aspire.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Attach the MCP Inspector to an Aspire MCP server so it auto-starts and appears in the dashboard for convenient in-app debugging.
  • Run in local development with DANGEROUSLY_OMIT_AUTH to remove token prompts, simplifying testing.
  • Prepare for Azure deployment with guidance and compatibility notes (see azure-mcp-inspector) to handle deployment proxies and origin issues.

Quick Start

Add the MCP Inspector to your Aspire AppHost and start the MCP server to begin debugging MCP traffic.
