MCP Monitoring with eBPF
Why this job: name: mcp; topics: mcp

What it does
MCPSpy is a powerful command-line tool that leverages eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter) technology to monitor Model Context Protocol (MCP) communication at the kernel level. It provides real-time visibility into JSON-RPC 2.0 messages exchanged between MCP clients and servers by hooking into low-level system calls.
