Overview

GoSpy is a non-invasive goroutine inspector for Go processes that provides detailed insights into running Go applications. It features a terminal UI for interactive inspection and an HTTP API for programmatic access to goroutine states, memory statistics, and runtime information. As an MCP server, it exposes tools for dumping goroutines, memory stats, runtime info, and process IDs, making it valuable for debugging and monitoring Go applications in production environments.
