Tools: local utilities for MQTT debugging

How hash, gzip, JWT, QR, diff, image, and time helpers support MQTT work without random uploads.

/tools 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

  • Hash files, inspect JWTs, convert timestamps, compare payloads, compress images, and handle gzip locally.
  • Use helpers while preparing support evidence or MQTT payload experiments.
  • Keep sensitive files off random web utilities.

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.

Keep this surface focused. If the job belongs to another workflow, move there instead of turning one page into everything.
