Proxyman
Wilmington, Delaware, United States; Singapore
What it is
Proxyman is an HTTP debugging proxy for capturing and inspecting web traffic. Its built-in SSL setup displays HTTP and HTTPS requests and responses in plain text. Developers can edit requests and responses, set breakpoints, filter traffic, compare request and response versions, replay traffic, mock responses, and chain proxies. Map Local, Map Remote, and scripting add further debugging options, while WebSocket inspection and GraphQL debugging cover additional traffic types. Desktop apps are available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, with standalone iOS and Android apps for inspecting HTTPS traffic on phones and tablets. Its MCP server connects debugging sessions with Claude Code, ChatGPT, Gemini, Codex CLI, and Cursor. The free evaluation plan has limited features and excludes WebSocket preview, mobile apps, and Network Extension. Standard costs $89, paid once and includes one seat, one active desktop device, and one year of updates. Team plans include shared logs, workspaces, role-based access, management features, and 10GB cloud storage per team; they require at least five seats.
