Proxyman
Proxyman is an HTTP debugging proxy for capturing, decrypting, and mocking HTTP(S) requests and responses. Its SSL setup allows inspection of traffic in plain text. Tools include breakpoints, Map Local, Map Remote, scripting, filtering, and request/response diffs; it also supports traffic replay, response mocking, proxy chaining, WebSocket inspection, and GraphQL debugging. Desktop versions run on macOS, Windows, and Linux, with standalone iOS and Android apps for capturing and inspecting HTTPS traffic on phones and tablets. Its MCP server connects debugging sessions to Claude Code, ChatGPT, Gemini, Codex CLI, and Cursor. The free evaluation trial has limited features and excludes WebSocket preview, mobile apps, and Network Extension. Standard costs $89, paid once, a one-time purchase for one seat, one active desktop device, and one year of updates. Team and company licenses require at least five seats. Team subscriptions include shared logs, workspaces, role-based access, management features, and 10GB of cloud storage per team.
