Webhook.site MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for webhook.site - instantly capture HTTP requests, emails, and DNS lookups. Perfect for testing webhooks, debugging API callbacks, security testing, and bug bounty hunting.

Security helper tools (SSRF, XSS, canary tokens) are for authorized testing only — systems you own or have explicit permission to test.

Quick Start

Installation

# Using uvx (recommended - no install needed)
uvx webhook-mcp-server==2.2.1

# Or install via pip
pip install webhook-mcp-server==2.2.1

Use 2.2.1 or newer. 2.1.3 does not start on MCP 2.0.

VS Code / GitHub Copilot

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "webhook-mcp-server": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["webhook-mcp-server==2.2.1"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json (project) or your user MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "webhook-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["webhook-mcp-server==2.2.1"],
      "env": {
        "WEBHOOK_SITE_API_KEY": "${WEBHOOK_SITE_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

WEBHOOK_SITE_API_KEY is optional. Set it for authenticated webhook.site / premium features.

What Can You Do?

Capture Webhooks

"Create a webhook and show me the URL"
"What requests have been sent to my webhook?"
"Wait for a request to come in"

Security/Bug Bounty:

"Generate an SSRF payload to test for blind vulnerabilities"
"Create XSS callback payloads to detect blind XSS attacks"
"Make me a canary token to detect if someone accesses a URL"

Email Automation:

"Create a temp email and wait for a password reset link"
"Monitor this webhook for emails and extract all links from them"
"Give me 3 temporary emails at once" (batch creation)

API Testing:

"Create a webhook that returns a 404 error with a custom message"
"Make a webhook with CORS enabled that waits 5 seconds before responding"
"Send 10 different test requests to a webhook and show me all the captured data"

Real-time Monitoring:

"Create a webhook and wait for any HTTP request to arrive"
"Monitor for DNS lookups to detect if a server is making DNS queries"
"Search all requests for ones containing 'password' in the body"

Data Analysis:

"Export all captured webhook requests to JSON format"
"Show me statistics on requests received in the last hour"
"Filter and show only POST requests with specific headers"

Creative/Practical:

"Create a webhook that pretends to be a Stripe payment API"
"Make a fake login endpoint that captures credentials (for pentesting)"
"Set up an email inbox that auto-extracts verification codes"

Canary Tokens

"Create a canary URL to track document access"
"Generate a DNS canary for the config file"
"Set up an email tracker pixel"

Batch & Utility

Examples

Sign up on a website

1. create_webhook — get email ({token}@email.webhook.site)
2. Use that address on the site (sign-up, verify, magic link, or password reset)
3. wait_for_email — receive the message and extracted confirm / login / reset URLs
4. extract_links_from_request if you need links from an email that already arrived

If you already have a token, get_webhook_email returns the same inbox.

Create a Webhook

// Response from create_webhook
{
  "token": "abc123-def456-...",
  "url": "https://webhook.site/abc123-def456-...",
  "email": "abc123-def456-...@email.webhook.site",
  "dns": "abc123-def456-....dnshook.site"
}

Wait for Password Reset Email

// Response from wait_for_email
{
  "email_received": true,
  "subject": "Password Reset Request",
  "from": "noreply@example.com",
  "links_found": ["https://example.com/reset?token=xyz789"]
}

SSRF Testing Payload

// Response from generate_ssrf_payload
{
  "payloads": {
    "http": "https://webhook.site/token?id=ssrf-test",
    "dns": "ssrf-test.token.dnshook.site",
    "ip_decimal": "http://2130706433/token",
    "ip_hex": "http://0x7f000001/token"
  }
}
