Overview

HookWatch is a unified monitoring and observability platform designed for developers and small teams to manage the invisible parts of their infrastructure. It provides real-time monitoring, logging, and automatic retries for webhooks, cron jobs, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool calls for AI agents. By offering a centralized dashboard and a local-first CLI, HookWatch helps prevent silent failures, allows for easy debugging of payloads, and ensures reliable delivery of critical events from providers like Stripe, Shopify, and GitHub. It features smart buffering to capture webhooks during downtime and human-readable schedules for cron management.

FAQ 5

What is HookWatch?
HookWatch is a unified monitoring and observability platform designed for developers and small teams to manage the invisible parts of their infrastructure. It provides real-time monitoring, logging, and automatic retries for webhooks, cron jobs, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool calls for AI agents. By offering a centralized dashboard and a local-first CLI, HookWatch helps prevent silent failures, allows for easy debugging of payloads, and ensures reliable delivery of critical events from providers like Stripe, Shopify, and GitHub. It features smart buffering to capture webhooks during downtime and human-readable schedules for cron management.
How to use HookWatch?
To get started, install the local-first CLI using the provided curl command. Developers can then configure their webhook endpoints to point to the HookWatch proxy for automatic logging and retries. For cron jobs, users can define schedules in human-readable text and track executions through the terminal or the cloud dashboard. AI agent developers can integrate the MCP proxy to monitor tool call latency and errors without changing their code.
What is the MCP Proxy feature?
The MCP Proxy provides observability for AI agent tool calls. It logs every request and response, tracks latency percentiles (p50/p95/p99), and alerts you when your agents encounter errors, all with zero code changes.
How does HookWatch handle my service downtime?
HookWatch uses transparent request buffering. If your services go down, HookWatch's dedicated endpoints capture and buffer the webhooks, automatically replaying them once your services are back online.
Can I use the CLI without an internet connection?
Yes, the HookWatch CLI is local-first and works 100% offline. Cloud synchronization for the dashboard is optional.
