New in Hookdeck: Inspect, MCP events, and Node transforms...

A roundup of what we shipped, improved, and polished across Hookdeck in October.

Hookdeck ( https://hookdeck.com )

Hookdeck October Changelog ( https://hookdeck.com/changelog )

----------------
Hookdeck Inspect
----------------

Hookdeck Console is now Hookdeck Inspect ( https://inspect.hookdeck.com/ ). You still get an instant URL to test and debug webhooks, and now your agent can read it too. Paste your URL into Claude or Codex and it tells you when a request lands, then uses that request to build your handler. When you're ready, forward requests to localhost with the CLI. Use with mock payloads for 500+ providers. Try it now ( https://inspect.hookdeck.com ).

----------
MCP Events
----------

Event Gateway now supports MCP Events ( https://hookdeck.com/changelog/mcp-events ) with the release of our open-source MCP Events bridge ( https://github.com/hookdeck/mcp-events-bridge ). The bridge turns webhooks into MCP events for ChatGPT, other MCP Events clients and Claude Code. If you run your own agent runtime, the new MCP_EVENTS source type puts Event Gateway in front of it to answer verification challenges and check signatures at the edge.

-----------------------
Node.js Transformations
-----------------------

Transformations in Event Gateway can now use Node.js built-in modules such as crypto, zlib and buffer, plus npm packages you bundle yourself. Binary payloads arrive as a Buffer, so you can gunzip a request, pull the text out of a PDF, edit multipart file uploads, or return any content type. Existing transformations keep working without changes. See what's now possible ( https://hookdeck.com/changelog/node-transformations ).

Michael McGovern, Staff Developer Advocate at Paddle, shows us how Paddle's webhooks carry a subscription through lifecycle stages, and how your app can turn them into access decisions.
