What is MCP Sniffer?
MCP Sniffer is a reverse proxy tool that sits between MCP clients and servers to capture and analyze network traffic. It provides a web interface similar to Chrome DevTools' Network tab for inspecting MCP communications.How to use MCP Sniffer?
Simply install the package and run it as a proxy between your MCP client and server. The web interface will automatically display all captured traffic for inspection.Use Cases
Ideal for debugging MCP implementations, analyzing protocol behavior, and understanding client - server interactions during development.Key Features
Traffic InspectionCaptures and displays all MCP requests and responses between client and server
Web InterfaceUser - friendly web UI for analyzing network traffic with filter and search capabilities
Easy SetupSimple installation and configuration process with sensible defaults
Pros and Cons
Advantages
Non - intrusive monitoring without modifying client or server code
Real - time traffic visualization
Helpful for debugging and development
Limitations
Adds slight latency as it proxies all traffic
Currently only supports MCP protocol
Web UI is in early development stage
Getting Started
