MCP HAR Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that parses HAR (HTTP Archive) files and displays requests in a simplified format. This tool is designed to be used with AI assistants through the MCP protocol.

Features

• Parse HAR files and extract request/response information
• Display requests with hash identifiers for easy reference
• Toggle query parameter visibility
• Filter requests by status code, method, URL pattern, or exclude specific domains
• View detailed headers and body information for specific requests
• List unique domains from HAR files to help with filtering

Available Tools

har_viewer

Displays HAR file requests in a simplified format with hash identifiers. Includes filtering options to narrow down results.

har_detail

Provides detailed information about specific HAR file entries including headers and request/response bodies. Uses hash identifiers to reference specific requests.

domain_list

Lists all unique domains found in a HAR file to help reduce output volume and provide filtering options.

Usage

Using the HAR viewer tool

The HAR viewer tool can be accessed through the MCP protocol. Here's an example of how to use it:

// Example usage through MCP protocol
const result = await mcpClient.callTool('har_viewer', {
  filePath: '/path/to/your/file.har',
  showQueryParams: true, // Set to false to hide query parameters
  filter: {
    statusCode: 200, // Optional: Filter by status code
    method: 'GET', // Optional: Filter by HTTP method
    urlPattern: 'api', // Optional: Filter by URL pattern
    excludeDomains: ['cdn.example.com', 'analytics.example.com'], // Optional: Exclude specific domains
  },
});

HAR Viewer Output Example

With showQueryParams: true:

[abc123] 200 GET https://example.com/api/users?page=1&limit=10
[def456] 404 POST https://api.example.org/data/process?format=json&version=2.1
[ghi789] 500 PUT https://service.example.net/update?id=12345&token=abc123

With showQueryParams: false:

[abc123] 200 GET https://example.com/api/users
[def456] 404 POST https://api.example.org/data/process
[ghi789] 500 PUT https://service.example.net/update

Using the HAR Detail tool

The HAR Detail tool allows you to view detailed information about specific requests in a HAR file. You can view headers and optionally body content:

// Example usage through MCP protocol
const result = await mcpClient.callTool('har_detail', {
  filePath: '/path/to/your/file.har',
  hashes: 'abc123', // Single hash or comma-separated list like 'abc123,def456,ghi789'
  showBody: true, // Set to false to hide request/response bodies
});

HAR Detail Output Example

ENTRY [abc123]
=== REQUEST ===
GET https://example.com/api/users?page=1&limit=10

--- Headers ---
Accept: application/json
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0

=== RESPONSE ===
200 OK

--- Headers ---
Content-Type: application/json
Cache-Control: no-cache

--- Body ---
{
  "users": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "name": "John Doe"
    },
    {
      "id": 2,
      "name": "Jane Smith"
    }
  ],
  "page": 1,
  "total": 42
}

Using the Domain List tool

The Domain List tool helps you see all unique domains in a HAR file, which is useful for filtering:

// Example usage through MCP protocol
const result = await mcpClient.callTool('domain_list', {
  filePath: '/path/to/your/file.har',
});

Domain List Output Example

example.com
api.example.org
service.example.net
cdn.example.com
analytics.example.com
