README Excerpt

> Community-maintained MCP server for [Wireshark](https://www.wireshark.org/) / `tshark`. Not affiliated with Wireshark or Anthropic. Give your AI assistant direct access to packet captures. Ask Claude to summarize a `.pcap`, follow a TCP stream, filter for a specific protocol, or capture live traffic — all without leaving the chat.
