### Description (declared)

# mitmproxy MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that transforms mitmproxy into a powerful toolset for AI agents. This allows LLMs (like Claude, GPT-4, or local models) to inspect, modify, and replay HTTP/HTTPS traffic in real-time.

## New in this build (the fun stuff)

This project has grown beyond simple capture + replay. You can now:

* **Search traffic quickly** with filters by domain/method/body text.
* **Extract data from responses** using JSONPath or CSS selectors.
* **Use session variables** to grab tokens from one response and reuse them in later replays.
* **Run lightweight fuzzing** against query params or JSON body fields for quick DAST checks.
* **Reconstruct API patterns** and export an OpenAPI-style spec from captured traffic.
* **Detect auth patterns** (Bearer/JWT/API key/session cookie/CSRF/OAuth hints).
* **Generate starter scraper code** from real captured flows.

## Why use this?
Standard "web search" or "fetch" tools are stateless and easily detected. mitmproxy-mcp provides:

* **Deep Debugging**: The agent can inspect full request/response cycles (headers, payloads, cookies) to identify why a frontend is failing or why an API is returning a `4xx/500` error.
* **API Reverse Engineering**: Let the LLM observe undocumented internal APIs, map out JSON schemas, and generate client libraries or documentation automatically.
* **Automated Security Testing**: Perform DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) by allowing the agent to inject payloads into specific parameters and analyze the response.
* **Live Interception**: Modify traffic on the fly: inject headers, mock responses for testing, or block tracking pixels to reduce noise.
* **Stealth Replay**: Uses `curl-cffi` to mimic Chrome/Safari TLS fingerprints, bypassing basic anti-bot measures that standard Python libraries trigger.

## Key Features

- **Lifecycle Control**: Start and stop the mitmproxy instance directly from the LLM.
- **Deep Inspection**: Capture full request/respons…
