# pcap-analyzer-mcp

> pcap-analyzer-mcp — nlink-jp-pcap-analyzer-mcp. Use this tool when you need to analyze large pcap or pcapng files in a secure and controlled environment. It solves the problem of efficiently narrowing down GB-scale network captures by running tshark in a network-less container with read-only access, preventing information overload. The tool takes in pcap files and outputs a digest-pinned analysis, ideal for use cases where wire content is untrusted and explicit bounds are required.

## Description

pcap/pcapng analysis as an MCP server — a digest-pinned tshark runs in a network-less Podman container with the capture mounted read-only, so an agent narrows a GB-scale capture step by step under explicit bounds instead of drowning in tshark -V. Wire content is framed as untrusted
