Mcpcap
Let your agent parse and interrogate PCAP captures for incident review, API debugging, and security validation on the wire.
Overview
mcpcap MCP is a Ship-phase security MCP server that analyzes PCAP packet capture files through stdio tools for agent-driven network review.
What is this MCP server?
- PyPI package mcpcap 0.9.6 with stdio MCP transport for local agent use
- Focused scope: analyze PCAP files via MCP tools rather than full NIDS deployment
- Open source at github.com/mcpcap/mcpcap for inspection and self-hosting
- Fits security-minded solo builders shipping networked apps, CLIs, or agents
- Complements code review skills with wire-level evidence from packet captures
- Registry version 0.9.6
- 1 PyPI package identifier mcpcap with stdio transport
- Repository: github.com/mcpcap/mcpcap
Community signal: 42 GitHub stars.
What problem does it solve?
Developers struggle to turn raw PCAP files into actionable answers without leaving the agent or relearning Wireshark workflows every incident.
Who is it for?
Solo builders and indie infra hackers who routinely handle PCAPs for API debugging, appsec review, or small-team incident response.
Skip if: Non-technical marketers, teams without any capture files, or orgs needing managed SOC-style live packet tapping only.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent can query PCAP analysis tools locally and accelerate security checks, integration debugging, and incident triage on captured traffic.
- Agent-driven interpretations and queries over PCAP data
- Faster security and integration debugging on captured traffic
- Local stdio MCP workflow without a hosted capture SaaS

Common Questions / FAQ
Who is mcpcap MCP for?
Developers and security-curious solo builders who use MCP clients and need to analyze packet capture files from staging or production.
When should I use mcpcap MCP?
Use it during Ship security review or Operate monitoring when you have a PCAP and want agent-assisted flow, protocol, and anomaly interpretation.
How do I add mcpcap MCP to my agent?
Install the PyPI package mcpcap (0.9.6), add an stdio MCP server entry pointing at the mcpcap executable in your client config, place PCAP files where tools can read them, then invoke analysis tools from the agent.
