检查运行中的 Go 进程，查看 goroutine 状态、内存统计与二进制信息，并通过终端 UI、HTTP API 或 SSE 端点访问数据。

排查 Go 服务运行态问题很顺手，能直接查看 goroutine、内存和二进制信息，还同时提供终端 UI、HTTP API 与 SSE，临时诊断和接入监控都方便。

README

Go Process Inspector

A tool for inspecting and analyzing running Go processes, including goroutine states, memory statistics, and binary information.

Features

View detailed goroutine information (status, scheduling info)
Analyze process memory statistics
Cross-platform support (Linux and macOS)
Terminal UI for interactive inspection
HTTP API for programmatic access
mcp server

Installation

bash

go install github.com/monsterxx03/gospy@latest

Usage

CLI Interface

bash

# Interactive terminal UI
sudo gospy top --pid <pid>

# HTTP API server
sudo gospy serve --port 8974

# Get process summary
sudo gospy summary --pid <pid>

# Get process summary in JSON format
sudo gospy summary --pid <pid> --json

Summary Command Options

--pid/-p - Target process ID (required)
--bin/-b - Path to binary file (optional)
--json/-j - Output results in JSON format

API Endpoints

GET /goroutines?pid=<pid> - List all goroutines
GET /memstats?pid=<pid> - Get memory statistics
GET /runtime?pid=<pid> - Get runtime version info

MCP Server

The MCP server provides an http (streamableHTTP) endpoint. To enable:

bash

>>> sudo gospy serve --enable-mcp --port 8974

Starting API server on port 8974
Endpoints:
  GET /runtime?pid=<PID>     - Get runtime info
  GET /goroutines?pid=<PID> - Get goroutines list
  GET /memstats?pid=<PID>   - Get memory stats
  GET /mcp   - MCP http endpoint

Available MCP tools:

goroutines - Dump goroutines for a go process
gomemstats - Dump memory stats for a go process
goruntime - Dump runtime info for a go process
pgrep - Find pid from process name

Config in cursor

Terminal UI Controls

q - Quit
r - Refresh data
s - Suspend/Resume top view
/ - Search/filter goroutines

Building from Source

bash

git clone https://github.com/monsterxx03/gospy.git
cd gospy
make

Requirements

Go 1.20+
Linux or macOS (Apple Silicon only)
Root privileges (required for memory access)

Root Privileges

gospy requires root privileges to:

Read process memory (/proc/<pid>/mem on Linux)
Access Mach APIs on macOS

Run with sudo:

bash

sudo gospy top --pid <pid>

For development/debugging, you may want to:

Build the binary first: make
Run with sudo: sudo ./gospy [command]
