## Description

Wireshark MCP is a specialized protocol for extracting, structuring, and transmitting network packet data from Wireshark to AI systems like Claude. Developed by Sarthak Siddha, this implementation provides tools for capturing live traffic, analyzing PCAP files, and extracting protocol-specific information (HTTP, DNS, TLS, SMTP) with security analysis capabilities. The server features IP address protection strategies, a unified security framework, and both direct MCP integration and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol support. It's particularly valuable for network administrators, security analysts, and IT professionals who need to leverage AI assistance for packet analysis, anomaly detection, and network troubleshooting without manually formatting complex network data.
