history

Project history and usage

mqttui is a Rust terminal client by EdJoPaTo for quick MQTT inspection and publishing. Its own README frames the project as a small, fast alternative to heavier MQTT viewers and command-line clients: the author had used MQTT Explorer for its overview, compared HiveMQ's mqtt-cli and Mosquitto's bundled mosquitto_sub/mosquitto_pub, and then built a terminal-oriented tool aimed at quickly watching or publishing MQTT traffic.

How it is used

In practice mqttui is used both interactively and in scripts. The README documents the default terminal UI for subscribing to all topics or a named topic, a publish subcommand with retained-message support and stdin input, a log mode for streaming multiple topics to stdout, a read-one mode for shell scripts, and helpers for clearing retained topics. Its package-manager niche is the MQTT operations/debugging corner: lighter than a desktop MQTT browser, friendlier for repeated terminal work than raw Mosquitto commands, and packaged across Homebrew, Alpine, Arch, MacPorts, Nix, and other ecosystems.

security posture

No protected-tool coverage found yet

No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for mqttui. Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL.

Install behavior

  • No Homebrew post-install hook is recorded in formula metadata.
  • Homebrew bottle metadata is available for 6 platform targets.
  • Build metadata lists 1 build dependencies.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
