Investigate MCP Communications
MCP Shark is helpful for forensic investigation of Model Context Protocol (MCP) communications. Like Wireshark for network traffic, MCP Shark acts as an intermediary between your IDE and MCP servers, capturing and analyzing all HTTP requests and responses to provide deep visibility into every interaction.
Perfect for investigating issues, debugging integrations, or understanding exactly how your MCP servers communicate. MCP Shark gives you the forensic tools you need to inspect, filter, and export traffic for thorough investigation.
