Wrap the stdio server in `npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector go run ./cmd/server --profile $(PROFILE)` (PROFILE defaults to local, override with `make inspect PROFILE=prod`). It reads .env from the module dir like the run-* targets, so auth/workspace carry over. Document usage (web UI + headless --cli mode) in the MCP server README and the root README dev section.

What
Adds a
make inspecttarget that launches the MCP Inspector — the official browser UI for listing/calling an MCP server's tools and reading its resources by hand — wrapping the stdio server.It runs
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector go run ./cmd/server --profile $(PROFILE)in themcp-server/dir, so it picks up.envexactly as therun-*targets do — auth/workspace carry over. Needs Node.js (npx); no global install.Why
Gives a no-wiring way to poke at the tool surface and resources (e.g.
simulator://actor/{id}) without registering the server into a host. The headless--climode is also handy for diffing the tool list in CI.Docs
--climode).make inspectto the root README dev section and the Makefile-targets help.Verification
Smoke-tested the full chain via the Inspector's headless CLI — it launched the stdio server and returned the complete
tools/list.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
