Browser-based playground for MCP servers. Test any remote MCP server, debug tools, and chat with Claude/ChatGPT using your custom integrations. Fully MCP compatible, with built-in LLM chat.
Tobias here from Metorial. Super excited to share Starbase with you today!
We built Starbase because we were constantly testing MCP servers while working on Metorial (our main product; a dev tool that lets you add 600+ integrations to AI agents in just a couple lines of code, all powered by MCP).
We found ourselves wanting a faster and better way to test remote MCP servers and see how they actually behave in conversations with AI models. Anthropic's Inspector tries do this, but we wanted something that runs entirely in the browser and lets you chat with Claude or ChatGPT using your MCP tools.
So we built Starbase. Of course it's open source because we think the MCP ecosystem needs more accessible tooling.
What makes Starbase different:
Zero setup - just paste your MCP server URL and start testing
Chat with Claude/ChatGPT using your MCP tools to see them in action
Debug faster by testing in real conversations
Fully open source and self-hostable
We use it daily at Metorial while building our Python and TypeScript SDKs, and we hope it helps you build better MCP integrations too!
Maybe we should host a class together on how to stop wasting time. 🎓
Love how Starbase makes testing MCP servers so much easier the zero setup approach and browser-based testing are super convenient.
This website is the one we want, as many mcp server listing sites have broken links and configs. Definitely recommend it!
Haven’t used MCP directly yet, but the concept of chatting with your own integrations to debug them makes a ton of sense.
How you handle auth or rate limits when testing connected APIs?
Huge congrats Tobias and team. Love how Metorial makes MCP practical with 600+ integrations, one-line OAuth, and self-hosting. Starbase looks like the perfect companion for testing MCP servers in-browser with Claude or ChatGPT. Excited to try both and share feedback.
Its so cool how you’ve brought AI chat right into MCP server testing—debugging with Claude or ChatGPT in the browser sounds like saving me hundreds of hours time... Does it support custom LLMs too?
