Overview

What is Wireshark-MCP Integration Toolkit?

A toolkit that integrates Wireshark with the Machine Control Protocol (MCP) to enable natural language interaction with network traffic analysis through Claude Desktop. It consists of a Python MCP server and a Lua Wireshark extension, targeting analysts who want to query and inspect packets conversationally.

How to use Wireshark-MCP Integration Toolkit?

Install both the Python MCP server and the Lua Wireshark extension. The Python server provides a CLI interface for packet analysis, while the Lua extension runs inside Wireshark for real-time dissection. No specific commands or configuration keys are documented in the README.

Key features of Wireshark-MCP Integration Toolkit

Frequently asked questions

What does the integration allow?

It allows users to interact with Wireshark packet analysis using natural language through Claude Desktop, bridging the MCP protocol between the two tools.

What are the main components?

The toolkit includes a Python MCP server (which manages the communication bridge) and a Lua Wireshark extension (which provides real-time packet dissection and logging).

Does it require any runtime dependencies?

The README indicates compatibility with Python and Lua, but does not list specific versions or additional dependencies.
