Description

When using Microsoft Graph Explorer, there is currently no way to configure Dev Proxy. Developers cannot define a local target (for example, localhost or 127.0.0.1) in addition to the Graph endpoint, which significantly limits local testing and debugging of Graph requests.

Describe the solution you'd like
Allow Microsoft Graph Explorer to use localhost or 127.0.0.1 as a request target so API calls can be routed through the Dev Proxy.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None in GE. Shellcode or other tools.

Research direction

No implementation files or tests are named. Start by locating Graph Explorer’s request-target configuration and request dispatch path, then trace how a local target is validated and used with the Microsoft Graph endpoint. Done means requests can target localhost or 127.0.0.1 through Dev Proxy without breaking normal Graph requests, with coverage for the supported local targets.
