MCPShark – Traffic Inspector for Model Context Protocol▲37
https://github.com/mcp-shark/mcp-shark Site: https://mcpshark.sh/ I built MCPShark, a traffic inspector for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It sits between your editor/LLM client and MCP servers so you can: • See all MCP traffic (requests, responses, tools, resources) in one place • Debug sessions when tools don’t behave as expected • Optionally run “Smart Scan” checks to flag risky tools / configs

MCPShark Viewer (VS Code/Cursor extension)- view MCP traffic in-editor▲28
A few days ago I posted MCPShark (a traffic inspector for the Model Context Protocol). I just shipped a VS Code / Cursor extension that lets you view MCP traffic directly in the editor, so you’re not jumping between terminals, logs, and "I think this is what got sent".

MCP-Shield – Detect security issues in MCP servers▲134
I noticed the growing security concerns around MCP (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43600192) and built an open source tool that can detect several patterns of tool poisoning attacks, exfiltration channels and cross-origin manipulations. MCP-Shield scans your installed servers (Cursor, Claude Desktop, etc.) and shows what each tool is trying to do at the instruction level, beyond just the API surface. It catches hidden instructions that try to read sensitive files, shadow other tools' behavior, or exfiltrate data. Example of what it detects: - Hidden instructions…
