Real-Time Dashboard

MCPHub uses a WebSocket connection to push live updates to the dashboard. You don't need to refresh the page to see changes.

What updates in real time

• Server status dots — green/red/yellow dots next to each server update immediately after a probe
• Alert toasts — when an alert fires, a toast notification appears in the corner
• Stats cards — the dashboard's summary numbers (total tool calls, active servers) refresh automatically

WebSocket connection status

The bottom of the sidebar shows the connection state:

• Live (green dot) — connected and receiving updates
• Connecting (pulsing) — establishing connection or reconnecting
• Offline (grey) — disconnected, showing last known data

The WebSocket reconnects automatically if the connection drops.

Authentication

The WebSocket connection is authenticated with your JWT token passed as a query parameter:

wss://mcphub.aniruddha.fyi/ws/dashboard?token=<jwt>

This is handled automatically by the frontend — you don't need to do anything manually.

Workspace isolation

Each WebSocket connection is subscribed to a workspace-specific Redis pub/sub channel. Events from other workspaces are never sent to your connection, even if you're connected at the same time as users from other workspaces.

Demo mode

In demo mode, there is no WebSocket connection. Status dots and alerts are simulated from the mock dataset and don't update live.
