Verified Safeby AmitafAdir-RidaFatima
Overview
Inspect and analyze Model Context Protocol (MCP) traffic directly within Visual Studio Code, providing real-time network monitoring and debugging capabilities.
Installation
npx -y @mcp-shark/mcp-shark@latestSecurity Notes
The extension spawns an external process `npx @mcp-shark/mcp-shark@latest` to run the core server functionality. While this command is hardcoded and not directly susceptible to user input injection, it relies on the integrity and security of the `@mcp-shark/mcp-shark` package from npm. Stopping the server involves `node:child_process.exec` with platform-specific commands (taskkill for Windows, kill for Linux/macOS) targeting a hardcoded port (9853), which is generally safe. There are no obvious hardcoded secrets or arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities found within the provided source code.
