## Design Principles
- **Single server connection** - No multiple concurrent connections (defer to plugins)
- **MCPJam-inspired** - Use MCPJam Inspector as UX reference model
- **Full-width content** - Maximize screen real estate for each section
- **No sidebar** - Deferred until menu becomes cumbersome or extensions multiply
- **Progressive disclosure** - Show relevant information at each connection stage
- **Resizable panels** - Allow users to adjust panel sizes on feature screens
## Navigation Model
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ [Server Name ▼] ● Connected (23ms) [Tools] [Resources] [Prompts] [Logs] [Tasks] [History] [Disconnect] │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │
│ Full-width content │
│ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
- **Menu bar** displays server name, connection status with latency, and disconnect button when connected
- **Top navigation** links to Tools, Resources, Prompts, Logs, Tasks, and History sections
- **Connection indicator** shows latency from periodic `ping` requests
- **No sidebar** - content areas use full width
## Screen Flows
### Server List (Home)
Initial screen shown when no server is connected. Displays server cards in a responsive grid (1-2 columns).
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ MCP Inspector │
│ [+ Add Server ▼] │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │
│ ┌─────────────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────────────┐
│ │ Server Card 1 │ │ Server Card 2 │
│ │ (see below) │ │ (see below) │
│ └─────────────────────────┘ └─────────────────────────┘
│ │
│ ┌─────────────────────────┐ │
│ │ Server Card 3 │ │
│ └─────────────────────────┘ │
│ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
**Add Server Options:**
- **Add manually** - Opens form modal for manual configuration
- **Import config** - Paste/upload internal `mcp.json` config
- **Import server.json** - Import MCP Registry format ([Issue #922](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector/issues/922))
**Functionality:**
- List servers from `mcp.json` config file
- Add/edit/delete servers via CRUD endpoints on proxy
- Responsive grid layout (1 column mobile, 2 columns desktop)
### Server Connection Card
Each server in the list is displayed as a card with connection controls and status.
```

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
**Status Indicators:**
| Status | Indicator | Display |
|--------|-----------|---------|
| Connected | Green dot | "Connected" |
| Connecting | Yellow pulsing dot | "Connecting..." |
| Failed | Red dot | "Failed (N)" with retry count |
| Disconnected | Gray dot | "Disconnected" |
**Card Actions:**
- **Toggle switch** - Connect/disconnect the server
- **Copy** - Copy command/URL to clipboard
- **Server Info** - Opens server info modal
- **Settings** - Opens server settings modal (see below)
- **OAuth Debug** - Opens OAuth debugger modal (visible when server uses OAuth)
- **Clone** - Duplicates server config for creating variants
- **Edit** - Opens edit server modal
- **Remove** - Deletes server (with confirmation)
### Server Settings Modal
Per-server configuration for connection behavior, headers, metadata, timeouts, and OAuth credentials.
```
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Server Settings: my-server [x] |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| Connection Mode |
| +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
| | Via Proxy v | |
| +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
| Direct - Connect directly to server (requires CORS support) |
| Via Proxy - Route through inspector proxy (required for STDIO) |
| |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| Custom Headers |
| +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
| | Authorization | Bearer sk-... [Remove]| |
| | X-Custom-Header | custom-value [Remove]| |
| +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
| [+ Add Header] |
| |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| Request Metadata |
| Metadata sent with every MCP request to this server. |
| +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
| | session_id | abc123 [Remove]| |
| +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
| [+ Add Metadata] |
| |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | | read write profile | | |
| | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | |
| +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
| |
| [Cancel] [Save Settings] |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
```
**Connection Mode:**
- **Direct** - Browser connects directly to server (requires server to have CORS headers)
- **Via Proxy** - Route through inspector proxy (required for STDIO transport, useful for CORS-restricted servers)
**Custom Headers:**
- Key-value pairs sent with every HTTP request to this server
- Useful for API keys, authorization tokens, custom routing
**Request Metadata:**
- Data included in `_meta` field of every MCP request
- Per-server isolation (previously stored globally in localStorage)
**Timeouts:**
- **Connection Timeout** - Max time to establish connection (ms)
- **Request Timeout** - Max time for individual requests (ms)
**OAuth Settings:**
- Pre-configure OAuth credentials for servers requiring authentication
- Client ID and Client Secret for OAuth 2.0 flows
- Scopes to request during authorization
**Clone Functionality:**
The [Clone] button on the server card creates a duplicate configuration, enabling:
- Testing same server with different headers/metadata
- Comparing behavior with different timeout settings
- Maintaining separate OAuth credentials for different environments
### Import server.json Modal
Support for importing MCP Registry `server.json` format for testing servers before publishing.
```

```
**Browse Button:**
- Opens native file picker to select a local `server.json` file
- Supports `.json` file filter
- Note: Registry browser may be added as future enhancement or plugin
**Schema Validation:**
- Validate against official MCP Registry schema
- Show validation errors inline with line numbers
- Highlight issues in the JSON editor
**Package Selection:**
- If server.json contains multiple packages (npm + pypi), let user choose which to use
- Display registry type, identifier, and runtime hint for each option
**Environment Variables:**
- Parse `environmentVariables` array from selected package
- Generate form fields for each variable
- Mark required variables with asterisk (*)
- Show description as helper text
- Validate required variables are filled before enabling "Add Server"
**Value Verification:**
- Check if package exists in registry (npm, pypi)
- Verify environment variables are set (or prompt user)
- For HTTP transport: optionally verify URL is reachable
- For STDIO: verify command is available (e.g., `npx` installed)
**Server Generation:**
- Convert server.json to internal config format
- Construct command from runtime hint + package identifier (e.g., `npx -y my-mcp-server`)
- Apply environment variables
- Set transport type from package.transport
**server.json to Internal Config Mapping:**
| server.json Field | Internal Config Field |
|-------------------|----------------------|
| `name` | `name` (display name) |
| `packages[n].registryType` | Determines command prefix |
| `packages[n].identifier` | Package name in command |
| `packages[n].runtimeHint` | Command prefix (npx, uvx, etc.) |
| `packages[n].transport.type` | `transportType` |
| `packages[n].environmentVariables` | `env` object |
**Use Cases:**
1. MCP authors testing server.json before publishing to registry
2. Developers importing servers from registry without manual setup
3. Configuration troubleshooting with detailed validation feedback

- Comparing behavior across different servers
## Form Generation
Forms are dynamically generated from JSON Schema for tool inputs, prompt arguments, and resource template variables.
**Supported Field Types:**
| JSON Schema Type | Form Control |
|------------------|--------------|
| `string` | Text input |
| `string` (enum) | Select dropdown |
| `string` (enum with `oneOf`) | Select dropdown with titles |
| `array` (enum items with `anyOf`) | Multi-select dropdown or checkboxes |
| `string` (format: uri) | URL input with validation |
| `number` / `integer` | Number input |
| `boolean` | Checkbox or toggle |
| `array` | Dynamic list with add/remove |
| `object` | Nested fieldset |
**Enum Handling (Single and Multi-select):**
The MCP 2025-11-25 spec supports titled enums using `oneOf`/`anyOf`:
```json
// Single-select enum (oneOf) - renders as dropdown
{
"type": "string",
"oneOf": [
{ "const": "small", "title": "Small (1-10 items)" },
{ "const": "medium", "title": "Medium (11-100 items)" },
{ "const": "large", "title": "Large (100+ items)" }
]
}
// Multi-select enum (anyOf with array) - renders as multi-select or checkboxes
{
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "string",
"anyOf": [
{ "const": "read", "title": "Read access" },
{ "const": "write", "title": "Write access" },
{ "const": "delete", "title": "Delete access" }
]
}
}
```
| Pattern | Form Control |
|---------|--------------|
| `oneOf` with `const` values | Single-select dropdown with titles |
| `anyOf` with `const` values in array items | Multi-select dropdown or checkboxes |
| Legacy `enum` array | Single-select dropdown (no titles) |
Note: For Shadcn, multi-select requires a third-party component (e.g., [shadcn-multi-select](https://shadcn-multi-select-component.vercel.app/)). Mantine has built-in `MultiSelect`.
**Schema Features:**
- `required` - Mark fields as required (*)
- `default` - Pre-fill with default value
- `description` - Show as helper text
- `title` - Display label (used in `oneOf`/`anyOf` for enum titles)
- `enum` - Render as select dropdown
- `minimum` / `maximum` - Validation for numbers
- `minLength` / `maxLength` - Validation for strings
**Complex Schema Handling:**
- `$ref` - Resolve references and render inline (when possible)
- `anyOf` / `oneOf` (non-enum) - Show JSON editor as fallback
- Toggle between form view and JSON editor for complex cases
## Error Handling UX
### Toast Notifications
Transient errors and success messages shown as toasts:
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ✓ Connected to everything-server [×] │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ [!] Tool execution failed: Invalid parameters [x] │
│ [View Documentation →] │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
### Inline Error Display
Persistent errors shown inline in context (e.g., server cards):
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ [!] Connection Error │
│ │
│ Failed to connect: ECONNREFUSED │
│ Retry attempt 3 of 5 │
│ │
│ [Show full error] [Troubleshooting Guide →] │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
**Error Display Patterns:**
- **Truncation** - Long errors truncated to ~100 chars with "Show more"
- **Retry count** - Display retry attempts for connection errors
- **Doc links** - Contextual links to troubleshooting documentation
- **Expandable** - Click to show full error message/stack trace
### Connection States
Clear visual feedback for connection lifecycle:
| State | Visual | User Action |
|-------|--------|-------------|
| Disconnected | Gray status, toggle off | Click toggle to connect |
| Connecting | Yellow pulsing, spinner | Wait or cancel |
| Connected | Green status, toggle on | Click toggle to disconnect |
| Failed | Red status, error shown | Retry or edit config |
| OAuth Flow | Redirect indicator | Complete OAuth in browser |
