About
Enables AI agents to create callback endpoints, wait for async webhook results, and verify signatures, eliminating the need for polling.
README
Model Context Protocol server for HookSense — the webhook & callback layer for AI agents. Lets Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, Continue, and any MCP client create a callback URL, wait for the result instead of polling, and verify its signature — all from the agent session.
Why
Agents that kick off async work — a deploy, a render, a human-in-the-loop approval, a long tool call, another agent — need the result back without burning context on polling loops. With this server the agent creates a callback endpoint, hands the URL to the job, then calls wait_for_callback and is woken the instant the webhook lands — signature-verified and decrypted. Stop polling for async results; await them.
Setup
- Get an API token at https://hooksense.com/account/tokens
- Configure your MCP client (examples below)
Claude Desktop / Claude Code
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"hooksense": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@hooksense/mcp"],
"env": {
"HOOKSENSE_TOKEN": "hsk_your_token_here"
}
}
}
}
Cursor
Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"hooksense": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@hooksense/mcp"],
"env": {
"HOOKSENSE_TOKEN": "hsk_your_token_here"
}
}
}
}
Hello callback (60 seconds)
Once configured, ask your agent:
- Create — "Create a callback endpoint." → the agent calls
create_callback_endpointand gets back acallbackUrllikehttps://hooksense.com/w/ab12cd. - Fire — point any job at that URL (or just
curl -X POST <callbackUrl> -d '{"status":"done"}'from another terminal). - Await — "Wait for the callback." → the agent calls
wait_for_callbackand blocks until the webhook lands, then receives{ status: "received", request: { body, headers, … } }. - Verify (optional) — set a webhook secret on the endpoint, then "Verify the signature." →
verify_signatureconfirms the payload is authentic before the agent acts on it.
No polling, no dashboards, no copy-paste.
