The Speculum plugin is a debug assistant for CakePHP applications. It records requests, exceptions, logs, database queries, queued jobs, mail, notifications, cache operations, scheduled tasks, HTTP client calls, and related runtime activity into a searchable dashboard.
Speculum tags entries and groups them by request batch so you can follow a full request story. Soft dependencies enable watchers for batches, notifications, scheduling, and broadcasting when those packages are present. Dashboard access is owned by the host application.
The plugin also exposes a dedicated MCP server (cake-speculum) with several tools so AI agents can search and inspect recorded entries without opening the UI.
