PCAP MCP Server

PCAP MCP Server

Enables Wireshark-like PCAP analysis through tshark, providing tools for filtering packets, extracting protocol fields, drilling down into frames, session tracking, and timeline analysis for troubleshooting 5G, IMS/SIP, and network protocol issues.

README

pcap-mcp

基于 tshark/Wireshark dissector 的 PCAP 分析 MCP Server。

它把 Wireshark 常用的工作流(Display Filter 检索、字段抽取/时间线、按帧下钻、会话跟踪、导出 Packet List)封装为一组结构化 MCP tools,方便智能体/脚本按“像 Wireshark 一样”的方式自动化排障。

适用场景

  • 5G 核心网/无线侧信令排障:NGAP/NAS-5GS/PFCP/GTPv2/GTP
  • IMS/SIP 呼叫问题排查:SIP + Rx(Diameter) + SBI(HTTP2)
  • QoS/策略问题:Rx AAR/AAA、PCF /npcf*、SMF 下发 packet filter 与 UE reject 的因果链

依赖

  • Python: >=3.10
  • 系统工具:tshark(必须)、capinfos(建议,通常随 wireshark 安装)

安装

pip install -r requirements.txt

如需以本地源码方式使用:

pip install -e .

启动

python3 -m pcap_mcp

或使用脚本入口:

pcap-mcp

配置

默认会尝试读取仓库根目录的 pcap_mcp_config.json。也可以通过环境变量指定:

  • PCAP_MCP_CONFIG_JSON=/abs/path/to/pcap_mcp_config.json

常用配置项(见 pcap_mcp_config.json):

  • allowed_pcap_dirs: 允许分析的 PCAP 目录白名单
  • allow_any_pcap_path: 是否允许任意绝对路径 PCAP(默认 false,建议保持关闭)
  • global_decode_as: 全局 tshark -d 规则(例如把某端口按 http2 解码)
  • profiles: 常用 display filter / decode-as 组合
  • packet_list_columns: Packet List 导出列模板(用于 Diameter/HTTP2/SIP 跟踪字段)

MCP Tools(已实现)

  • pcap_config_get
    • 获取当前加载的配置快照(profiles、packet_list_columns 等)
  • pcap_config_reload
    • 重新加载配置文件(无需重启 server)
  • pcap_list_fields
    • 字段发现:等价 tshark -G fields 的可搜索封装
  • pcap_info
    • 抓包摘要:包数/时间范围/sha256/tshark 版本/是否包含常见协议等
  • pcap_frames_by_filter
    • 输入 display filter,返回匹配的 frame.number 列表(分页)
  • pcap_timeline
    • 输入 display filter + fields,返回“时间线表格”(分页)
  • pcap_frame_detail
    • 指定帧下钻:
      • restrict_layers=true + layers=[...]:只输出指定协议树(更像“只看关心层”)
      • restrict_layers=false:输出完整协议树(等价 Wireshark 全量下钻)
      • verbosity=full:额外输出十六进制(tshark -x
      • max_bytes:截断保护
  • pcap_text_search
    • 在过滤后的帧集合里做文本搜索(内部会抓 detail 形成 snippet)
  • pcap_follow
    • 会话跟踪:从指定帧提取并生成 follow filter(例如 HTTP2 streamid / Diameter Session-Id / SIP Call-ID)
  • pcap_packet_list
    • 导出类似 Wireshark Packet List 的 TSV 文件,并返回预览行

推荐工作流(Wireshark-like)

  1. pcap_info:确认抓包概况、协议是否齐全
  2. pcap_packet_list:先导出一个“全局 Packet List”,观察主要协议与时间窗
  3. pcap_frames_by_filter:对关键协议/错误码做一次定位(例如 sip.Status-Code==580diameter.cmd.code==265http2.headers.path contains "npcf"
  4. pcap_frame_detail:对关键帧下钻(必要时 restrict_layers=false + verbosity=full
  5. pcap_follow:用 SIP Call-ID / Diameter Session-Id / HTTP2 streamid 串起完整会话
  6. pcap_timeline:抽关键字段形成“可读的时间线”并对齐多协议因果关系

示例(以工具调用参数为主)

1)按 SIP 580 定位并下钻

  • pcap_frames_by_filter
{
  "pcap_path": "/home/ailink/code/mcp/test_iphone_call_jx-1230.pcap",
  "display_filter": "sip && sip.Status-Code==580",
  "limit": 50,
  "offset": 0
}
  • pcap_frame_detail(全量下钻)
{
  "pcap_path": "/home/ailink/code/mcp/test_iphone_call_jx-1230.pcap",
  "frame_numbers": [3470],
  "restrict_layers": false,
  "verbosity": "full",
  "max_bytes": 400000
}

2)查看 Rx AAR(cmd.code==265)里下发的 Flow-Description

{
  "pcap_path": "/home/ailink/code/mcp/test_iphone_call_jx-1230.pcap",
  "display_filter": "diameter && diameter.cmd.code==265",
  "columns_profile": "rx_compact",
  "preview_rows": 50
}

3)查询 PCF Npcf 信令

{
  "pcap_path": "/home/ailink/code/mcp/test_iphone_call_jx-1230.pcap",
  "display_filter": "http2 && http2.headers.path contains \"npcf\"",
  "limit": 200,
  "offset": 0
}

输出文件

  • Packet List 导出默认写到:pcap_mcp_config.jsonoutput_dir
  • 文件名形如:<pcap_stem>.packet_list.<UTC_TIMESTAMP>.tsv
