+# MCP Inspector Roadmap
+
+Timeline is TBD - this preliminary draft is to collect categories of improvements and discuss them with the maintainers group.
+
+Next steps after deciding on what is highest priority would be to set up a simple Project in the repo and reference the exact issues there.
+
+## CLI Mode
+
+We have a few PRs and issues open around these:
+
+- Add configuration parity with UI mode
+- Add feature parity with UI mode
+
+We've also discussed separating this out into a dedicated repo, if that would help with maintainability.
+
+## UX Improvements (UI Mode)
+
+- Revisit UI design?
+- Add ability to edit/add arbitrary headers
+- TODO: Call out any other specific enhancements/bugs that we think are significant
+
+## Automation/General Process Improvements
+
+- Automatic dependency updates with Dependabot (SDK, etc.)
+- Automation with Claude Code Github Action:
+    - Initial pass at PR review
+    - Initial pass at issue triage/labeling
+    - Opening PRs for simple bugs
+    - Needs references to MCP spec/docs and example tools for testing
+- Revisit how we want to label issues and PRs
+- Playwright tests vs ad-hoc testing - what makes sense to expand here as part of CI vs doing on-demand?
+
+## LLM Integration
+
+We previously decided not to include this, but people are finding it useful in alternative testing apps. Our previous concerns were around maintainability and whether this really belongs in Inspector.
+
+Examples:
+- Chat functionality to test MCP features
+- Real sampling with an LLM
