Description
## Overview
Add capability to capture and analyze MCP protocol traffic for security monitoring and debugging.
## Business Value
Traffic analysis enables detection of attacks, anomalies, and protocol violations in real-time.
## Current State
- Health monitoring exists
- No traffic capture
- No protocol analysis
## Subtasks
- [ ] Design traffic capture architecture
- [ ] Implement traffic interception
- [ ] Add protocol parsing
- [ ] Create traffic storage system
- [ ] Implement traffic analysis
- [ ] Add traffic visualization
- [ ] Create traffic search
## Implementation Steps
1. Create backend/internal/monitoring/traffic_capture.go
2. Implement MCP protocol parser
3. Add traffic storage
4. Create analysis engine
5. Build traffic viewer UI
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] MCP traffic is captured
- [ ] Protocol messages are parsed
- [ ] Traffic is stored for analysis
- [ ] Anomalies are detected
- [ ] Traffic can be searched
- [ ] UI displays traffic flows
## Estimated Effort
- Hours: 24-32
- Complexity: High
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the existing health-monitoring implementation and then inspect backend/internal/monitoring/traffic_capture.go as the proposed entry point. Work through the listed subtasks and acceptance criteria: capture and parse MCP traffic, store and analyze it for anomalies, support search, and display traffic flows in the UI.
