#### MQTT X: An Elegant Cross-platform MQTT 5.0 Desktop Client

MQTT X is a cross-platform MQTT 5.0 client tool open sourced by EMQ, which can run on macOS, Linux and Windows, and supports formatting MQTT payload.

MQTT X simplifies test operation with the help of a familiar, chat-like interface. It’s easy and quick to create multiple, simultaneous online MQTT client connections, and can test the connection, publishing, and subscription functions of MQTT/TCP, MQTT/TLS, MQTT/WebSocket as well as other MQTT protocol features.

**Installation**

```
sudo snap install mqttx
```

**Usage**

See our blog (<https://www.emqx.io/blog/mqtt-x-guideline>) or manual (<https://github.com/emqx/MQTTX/blob/main/docs/manual.md>) for details.

1. Get MQTT Broker Ready.

   If you do not need to deploy the MQTT Broker locally, you can use the public MQTT 5.0 Broker (<https://www.emqx.com/en/mqtt/public-mqtt5-broker>) provided by EMQX Cloud (<https://www.emqx.com/en/cloud>) for testing:

   ```
   Broker IP: broker.emqx.io
   Broker TCP Port: 1883
   Broker SSL Port: 8883
   ```
2. Connection configuration. Click the `+` button in the left menu bar and fill in the corresponding required fields in the form.
3. After the connection information is configured, click the `Connect` button in the upper right corner to create a connection and connect to MQTT Broker.
4. After the MQTT is connected successfully, you can perform MQTT publish and subscription tests.

**Better Together with EMQX**

MQTT X is designed to connect to test MQTT Brokers such as EMQX, The one-click connection and simple graphical interface make it easy to connect to EMQX or EMQX Cloud to debug and explore functional features.
