Wireshark-mcp
A Model Context Protocol server that integrates Wireshark's network analysis capabilities with AI systems like Claude, allowing direct analysis of network packet data without manual copying.

The grade above is for the source repository. Registries can serve a different version, so we mark the ones we were not able to read.
These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.
capture_live_trafficCapture live network traffic using tshark (Wireshark CLI) Args: interface: Network interface to capture from (default: "any") duration: Capture duration in seconds (default: 10) filter: Wireshark display filter (default: "") max_packets: Maximum number of packets to capture (default: 100) Returns: D…
analyze_pcapAnalyze an existing pcap file Args: file_path: Path to the pcap file max_packets: Maximum number of packets to analyze focus_protocols: List of protocols to focus on (e.g., ["HTTP", "DNS", "TLS"]) Returns: Dict containing the analysis results
get_protocol_listGet a list of supported protocols for filtering Returns: List of protocol names
SECRET_KEYCLAUDE_API_KEYANTHROPIC_API_KEYTool annotations
No tools have read-only/destructive annotations
Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.
All four hints declared on every tool
3/3 tools missing one or more hints — capture_live_traffic (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); analyze_pcap (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_protocol_list (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint). OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.
For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.
Destructive tools are labelled
1 tool perform destructive updates without destructiveHint — capture_live_traffic deletes at line 90 (os.unlink(temp_file.name))
Add destructiveHint:true to any tool whose handler calls .delete(), .upsert(), .update(), unlink, rm, DELETE, DROP, REPLACE INTO, or any operation that overwrites existing data.
License file
No license file
Add a LICENSE file (MIT, Apache-2.0, etc.).
Tests exist
No test files found
Add tests that exercise each declared tool.
Secrets not logged
1 secret value sent to console.log
Redact or omit secret values from log output.
Tool description accuracy
capture_live_traffic: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes
Update tool descriptions to accurately reflect all capabilities — especially write, delete, or execute operations.
