Frequently Asked Questions

What is Wireshark MCP?

Wireshark network packet analysis MCP Server with capture, protocol stats, field extraction, and security analysis capabilities.

Is Wireshark MCP safe to use?

We cannot tell you that, and nobody scanning at this scale can. What we did in March 2026 was shallow-clone Wireshark MCP and run five keyword searches over its source: auth identifiers, CORS configuration, rate-limit identifiers, the dependency manifest against a hardcoded list of 18 known-vulnerable packages, and unguarded eval/exec calls. At least one matched — the specific finding is in the scan report on this page. A text search cannot follow a variable, judge intent, or tell you what a server does once it is running, so "nothing matched" is not "safe". What the scan does and does not cover is written out at /mcp/security.

What are alternatives to Wireshark MCP?

Similar MCP servers include GhidraMCP, Ida Pro MCP, Beelzebub. Each serves a similar purpose but may differ in features, language, and compatibility.
