MCPanel is a lightweight (~7MB), native desktop application designed to streamline the local development of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Built with Tauri and Rust, it provides a visual interface to easily start/stop servers, stream real-time logs without freezing the UI, and manually craft JSON-RPC requests via an integrated workbench. By implementing strict process management and native OS credential storage, MCPanel eliminates plaintext API keys and orphaned background processes.
