Inspector

Application monitoring and debugging tool for PHP applications.

Visit Inspector

Inspector is an application monitoring and debugging tool for PHP applications. It traces execution cycles, or transactions, such as HTTP requests, scheduled tasks and background jobs, capturing slow database queries, external service issues and exceptions as they occur. Monitoring data can be passed to AI coding agents through an MCP server, helping agents identify code changes needed to fix bugs.

Inspector provides auto-configured packages for Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter, Drupal and the Neuron AI framework, with no server-level installation required. It offers built-in integrations, extensible APIs and webhooks, REST API access, live chat support and an AI Bug Fixer feature. Pricing is transaction-based, with unlimited events, hosts, apps and users on paid tiers.

Inspector is available as a free monthly plan with a transaction allowance, alongside paid tiers that scale by data volume. Paid plans include a 14-day money-back guarantee, and usage-based billing can cover consumption beyond the default quota. Plans can be changed at any time, with pro-rated adjustments.
