Hi HN, I'm Matt, founder of MCPJam. We're building open source dev tools for MCP server builders.There’s been a lot of debate around skills vs MCP.

Re:Test your MCP servers with MCPJAM – Elicitation support on Saturday June 21, 2025 @04:17PM (#44340451)
For the past couple of weeks, I've been building the MCPJam inspector, an open source MCP inspector to test and debug MCP servers. It's a fork of the original inspector, but with design upgrades, and LLM chat.

If you check out the repo, please drop a star on GitHub. Means a lot to us and helps gain visibility.

I'm so excited to finally launch new features:

Multiple active connections to several MCP servers. This will come especially useful for MCP power developers who want to test their server against a real LLM.

Upgrade LLM chat models. Choose between a variety of Anthropic models up to Opus 4.

Logging upgrades. Now you can see all client logs (and server logs soon) for advanced debugging.

Please check out the repo and give it a star: https://github.com/MCPJam/inspector
