HookWatch

HookWatch is a unified monitoring platform that gives developers complete visibility into the background processes that power their applications. It tracks webhooks from services like Stripe, GitHub, and Shopify, monitors cron job executions, and provides observability for AI agent tool calls through its MCP Proxy. The platform captures every event, stores payload data, and provides a searchable history to help identify and troubleshoot issues.

The tool works by providing dedicated endpoints for your webhooks and a CLI for managing cron jobs. It offers real-time monitoring through a web dashboard or terminal interface, with automatic retry mechanisms for failed deliveries and detailed execution logs. What sets HookWatch apart is its combination of webhook monitoring, cron job management, and MCP observability in a single tool, along with its local-first approach that allows the CLI to function offline.

HookWatch is particularly valuable for development teams and indie hackers who need to ensure their background processes are running reliably. It helps prevent revenue loss from missed Stripe payments, maintains deployment pipelines by monitoring GitHub webhooks, and provides crucial visibility into AI agent performance. The free tier makes it accessible for side projects, while paid plans support growing applications with longer history retention and team collaboration features.
