wireman

TUI gRPC client for the terminal

TLDR

Launch the gRPC client

$ wireman

Activate server reflection (inside the UI, on the selection tab)

$ Ctrl+r

WireMan is a terminal-based gRPC client written in Rust. It reads .proto files from a configuration file and provides a TUI for sending requests, browsing services and methods, and viewing responses.The client supports server reflection, server-side streaming, header and metadata management, environment-based token loading via shell scripts, and exporting requests as grpcurl commands. Request history is persisted between sessions.

CONFIGURATION

~/.config/wireman/wireman.toml

Main configuration file specifying proto file paths, addresses, default headers, and history settings.

KEY BINDINGS

Tab

Switch between selection, request, response, and headers tabs.

Ctrl+r

Activate server reflection mode (on the selection tab).

Enter

Send the request or confirm a selection.

Show in-app help.

CAVEATS

Requires a configuration file pointing to local .proto files or a server with reflection enabled. Some advanced gRPC features (e.g. client-side streaming) may have limited UI support.

HISTORY

wireman was created by preiter93 and is written in Rust. It targets developers who prefer a keyboard-driven terminal workflow over GUI tools like Postman or BloomRPC.
