Explorer: a lightweight MQTT protocol lab
How Explorer gives Mqttable a place for structured MQTT protocol experiments.

Mqttable Engineering
/explorer is a product surface in Mqttable. It exists because MQTT debugging needs a place for this job, not because every task should start from MCP.
This page focuses on the product workflow. MCP support is a companion layer: use it when automation helps, not as the starting point for every task.

Human job
- Try protocol shapes that are not ready for mature workflows.
- Keep experiments out of Connections until they need live operational weight.
- Promote useful experiments into real surfaces when they become repeatable.
Automation handoff
- MCP and CLI are supporting surfaces here, not the whole story.
- Use MCP reads when the same state needs to be inspected by an agent.
- If an action changes MQTT state, use schema, plan, confirmation, apply, and verify.
Boundary
Keep this surface focused. If the job belongs to another workflow, move there instead of turning one page into everything.
