Install

pip install madqtt          # from PyPI
madqtt                      # run it

Or for local dev from a checkout:

uv venv .venv
uv pip install -p .venv/bin/python -e .

If your global uv cache has root-owned subdirs from a past sudo install, route around it: UV_CACHE_DIR=.uv-cache uv pip install -p .venv/bin/python -e .

Run

.venv/bin/python -m madqtt                        # live: broker + Mongo backfill
.venv/bin/python -m madqtt --replay dataset1.txt  # replay a mosquitto_sub -v capture
.venv/bin/python -m madqtt --host eaws --port 1883

Documentation

Everything else — keys, configuration, architecture, the full topic & payload reference — lives in the docs site:

uv pip install -p .venv/bin/python -e '.[docs]'
.venv/bin/python -m madqtt --docs

Spawns mkdocs serve on a free port and opens your browser.

Optional extras

extra	install	what you get
[docs]	uv pip install -e '.[docs]'	mkdocs-material site behind --docs
[web]	uv pip install -e '.[web]'	textual-serve "python -m madqtt" exposes the TUI in a browser

Dev

.venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/ -q          # parser regression against dataset1.txt
.venv/bin/python scripts/smoke_replay.py      # headless: all views, SVG captures
.venv/bin/python scripts/smoke_live.py        # live: backfill + 4 synthetic publishes
.venv/bin/python -m mkdocs build --strict     # build docs site to ./site

Roadmap candidates: "open cwd in editor" key, per-tool aggregate stats view.

Persistent memory

Two files under ~/.madqtt/ (override with MADQTT_STATE_DIR, disable with MADQTT_NO_PERSIST=1):

• state.json — last view, filter chips, idle toggle, last selected session. Restored on launch, saved on quit + every 30s.
• events.jsonl — append-only mirror of every Event. Replayed into the ring on startup so the timeline survives broker + Mongo being down.
