What is Header Injector Proxy?
The Header Injector Proxy MCP enables developers to run a customizable local HTTP proxy server within VS Code. It routes requests based on specified path prefixes to different backend URLs, injecting custom headers like API keys or authorization tokens automatically. Users can configure multiple targets, manage them via a UI, and observe the server status directly in VS Code. It supports HTTP proxying and header injection, streamlining testing and development workflows by simplifying request routing and security token management for backend services.
Who will use Header Injector Proxy?
- Developers using VS Code for API testing
- Backend developers managing multiple service endpoints
- API integrators requiring header injection automation
- QA engineers performing testing with custom headers
How to use the Header Injector Proxy?
- Step1: Install the MCP extension in VS Code.
- Step2: Access the proxy configuration UI from the VS Code Activity Bar.
- Step3: Add new target configurations specifying path prefixes, target URLs, headers, and header prefixes.
- Step4: Save the configuration to start the proxy server.
- Step5: Send requests to the local proxy address, which will route and inject headers accordingly.
- Step6: Monitor the server status via the VS Code status bar.
