<b>MCPSpy - Real-time monitoring for Model Context Protocol communication using eBPF</b>
</div>

## Overview

MCPSpy is a powerful command-line tool that leverages [eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter)](https://ebpf.io/) technology to monitor [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) communication at the kernel level.
