JoesProxy Launched: A Mac Network Debugging Tool Built for AI Agents
JoesProxy – The free network workbench for your AI agent
JoesProxy is a free, open-source (MIT licensed) local Mac network debugging workbench tailored for AI coding agents. Powered by a local MCP server, it allows agents to inspect network requests, simulate throttling, and propose rewrite rules that take effect only after user approval—eliminating the need to upload full packet captures to the model. It also supports Charles-like local mapping and live modifications, leveraging local compute to summarize traffic data and minimize context token consumption.
The piece demonstrates how to connect network packet captures with agents via local MCP services and edge compute, providing a token-efficient architectural blueprint for integrating local debugging tools with LLMs.
