What is NetForensicMCP?

NetForensicMCP (formerly WireMCP) is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that empowers LLMs with offline network traffic analysis and threat intelligence capabilities. Built on Wireshark's tshark, it provides PCAP analysis tools for cybersecurity professionals, threat hunters, and network forensics investigators.

How to use NetForensicMCP?

Install Node.js (v16+), Wireshark (tshark in PATH), and clone the repository. Run npm install then node index.js. Configure an MCP client (e.g., Cursor IDE or Claude Desktop) with the path to index.js and the command node.

Key features of NetForensicMCP

Smart stream analysis with intelligent chunking for large PCAPs
Threat intelligence integration with URLhaus blacklist checking
Automated credential extraction across multiple protocols
High-frequency IP analysis for proactive threat hunting
Paginated stream content extraction and size estimation
Legacy live traffic capture for compatibility

Use cases of NetForensicMCP

Threat hunting: proactive identification of APT activities and C2 communications
Incident response: rapid forensic analysis of network evidence
Compliance auditing: credential leak detection and security gap identification
IOC extraction: automated indicator of compromise discovery
Attack reconstruction: timeline analysis and attack path visualization

FAQ from NetForensicMCP

What are the runtime dependencies?

Requires Node.js v16+, Wireshark/tshark in PATH, and npm for dependency management. Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

How does NetForensicMCP handle large PCAP files?

It uses intelligent chunking with pagination support, content size estimation, and automated stream segmentation to prevent token overflow.

Where does threat intelligence data come from?

Built-in integration with URLhaus (abuse.ch) for comprehensive malware URL database checking.

Does NetForensicMCP support live traffic capture?

Legacy capture_packets tool is preserved for compatibility, but the focus is on offline forensic analysis.

How is the server configured for different MCP clients?

For Cursor IDE, edit mcp.json with the path to index.js. For Claude Desktop, edit the appropriate config file (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json).
