Hookdeck CLI v2: AI agents can query, inspect, and debug webhooks via MCP
Blog post from Hookdeck
Phil Leggetter's Hookdeck CLI v2 introduces significant enhancements, including a built-in MCP server that allows AI agents to query, inspect, and debug webhooks via the Hookdeck gateway namespace. This version expands functionality beyond human developers, integrating AI agent workflows and adding new commands for handling issues and metrics. The CLI offers tools for investigating and diagnosing webhook failures, enabling agents to identify problems without accessing the Dashboard, and facilitates root-cause analysis through a series of tools. New features include the ability to manage issues directly from the CLI, enhanced metrics commands for detailed resource analysis, and a renamed configuration flag for clarity. The update also includes a local flag for authentication and introduces telemetry to understand usage patterns, with an opt-out option available. The CLI's MCP server sets the stage for future developments in Event Gateway operations, aiming to refine error handling and expand capabilities based on user feedback.
