Hooksense MCP Server

Model Context Protocol server for HookSense - the webhook & callback layer for AI agents. Lets Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, Continue, and any MCP client create a callback URL, wait for the result instead of polling, and verify its signature - all from the agent session. Its 8 documented tools cover callback, endpoint. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting automation tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.

01 · Install Hooksense

before you install - you'll need

HOOKSENSE_TOKEN

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add ozers-hooksense-mcp -- npx -y @hooksense/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ozers-hooksense-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@hooksense/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package @hooksense/mcp - the @hooksense scope differs from the repo owner (ozers); confirm it's the project's official package

registry namespace io.github.ozers is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Hooksense can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can create a callback endpoint, list callbacks received by an endpoint (summary view), fetch one callback with full headers + decrypted body, and post a received callback to any target URL.
