Introduction
Welcome to Axelix! We're glad you're here.
Axelix is a monitoring and runtime-debugging tool for Spring Boot applications written in Java or Kotlin. It connects to your running services and exposes the live state of each application — its beans, configuration sources, transactions, scheduled tasks, caches, threads, and metrics — through a web UI for human engineers, and through a bundled MCP server for AI agents. Parts of that state can be changed on the fly without a redeploy.
We care about how quickly you can get Axelix running. Installation walks you through bringing Master up, and the Spring Boot Starter guide covers adding the starter to your application.
Axelix OSS and Enterprise
This documentation covers both Axelix OSS, released under LGPL 3.0 with sources at github.com/axelixlabs/axelix, and the upcoming paid Axelix Enterprise edition with additional features (in development — stay tuned for news).
