This is awesome, thank you. What's missing now is an MCP for Wireshark.

This is awesome. Your comparison make it easy. This approach makes perfect sense to give 100% visibility into the back and forth. Is it possible to add a simple browser page to brows the data in a simple way?. Thank you.

Its really a great tool. The gap of visualization of calling the AI client is covered by your product!!

To be fair, it is really simple to build your own proxy. I built a custom authentication layer with logging and limits for Dify MCP with just 2 prompts in Kimi. Later built it out with database limts etc.

Great. I dream to see MCP of MCP, discovery, installation, security and usage should be automatic.

Remote debugging and post-mortem debugging support might be useful. There are many AI auditability proxies; awesome-auditable-ai: "A curated list of papers, tools, datasets, benchmarks, and standards for building, evaluating, and auditing reliable AI agents" https://github.com/yzhao062/awesome-auditable-ai Aegis and LiteLLM, for example, are pre-execution firewalls that add a cryptographic audit trail. https://github.com/Justin0504/aegis

One question about http mode, you carry authorization headers. Do you redact bearer tokens before captures hit the logs?
