The problem: Modern apps rely on webhooks, cron jobs, WebSocket connections, and now AI agents — but when they fail, they fail silently. No error page. No stack trace. Just... nothing happens. A Stripe payment webhook gets lost, a nightly backup script silently stops running, a WebSocket connection drops mid-session, an AI agent starts erroring out — and you don't find out until a customer complains or data is already gone.

I've been on the other side of that support ticket too many times. So I built HookWatch.

What is HookWatch?

It's four monitoring tools under one roof:

🔗 Webhook Monitor — Track every incoming webhook in real-time. Inspect full payloads, replay failed deliveries with one click, and get automatic retries with exponential backoff. We even have a unique request buffering feature: if your server goes down, HookWatch stores incoming webhooks and replays them when you're back online. Zero data loss.

⏰ Cron Monitor — Schedule and monitor cron jobs with human-readable syntax. Write "every day at 2am" instead of decoding 0 2 * * *. Get full execution history with stdout/stderr, automatic retries, and instant alerts when something breaks. The CLI runs jobs locally with optional cloud sync — it works 100% offline.

🌐 WebSocket Monitor — A transparent proxy for your WebSocket connections that gives you complete visibility into bidirectional traffic. Point your client to a HookWatch proxy URL instead of the original server — we forward everything transparently while capturing every message in both directions. See live connections open and close, inspect full payloads (text and binary), filter by direction (inbound/outbound), and review complete message history. Debug dropped connections, validate payload formats, and investigate incidents — all without changing a single line of your application code.

🤖 MCP Proxy — Observability for AI agent tool calls. Monitor every MCP request/response, track latency (p50/p95/p99), and get alerts when your agents hit errors. If you're building with Claude or other LLMs, this gives you the visibility you've been missing.

What makes HookWatch different?

• Four tools, one dashboard. Competitors focus on just one. We bundle webhooks + cron + WebSocket + MCP monitoring together.

• Local-first CLI. Not just a web dashboard — our CLI is a first-class citizen. Forward webhooks to localhost, run cron jobs locally, get JSON output for scripting. Works offline.

• Transparent proxying. Both for webhooks (request buffering when your server is down) and WebSockets (full bidirectional message capture). Zero code changes required.

• Human-readable schedules. Stop Googling cron syntax. Write schedules in plain English.

• AI-native from day one. MCP observability is built in, not bolted on.
