I created a tshark MCP server! This is useful for an agent to debug packet issues.
Async: your agent can run a curl command and get the packets for it Flexible: You choose the capture and display filters Configs: Reusable configs to not go through the hassle of creating filters again or trusting the LLM to know what you need
Let me know what you think!
I can see this being particularly valuable for: - Debugging weird SSL/TLS handshake issues - Analyzing API response timing problems - Understanding network-level failures that don't show up in application logs
The reusable configs feature is especially clever - manually crafting tshark filters every time is such a pain. How complex can these configs get? Can you chain multiple filters together?
