      "command": "whistle-mcp",
      "args": [

Whistle MCP Server lets you manage a local Whistle proxy via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). You can control rules, groups, values, monitor and replay requests, and toggle proxy behavior through an AI-enabled interface, making network debugging and API testing faster and more precise.

How to use

You connect an MCP client to the Whistle MCP Server to perform operations like creating rules, organizing them into groups, managing values, and controlling the proxy. Use the client’s MCP features to list, create, update, rename, enable/disable, and replay rules and requests. You can filter intercepted requests, replay them with altered parameters, and switch between single-rule and multi-rule modes as needed.

How to install

Prerequisites: ensure you have Node.js and npm installed on your system.

Option 1 Install via Smithery for Claude Desktop automatic setup.

npx -y @smithery/cli install @7gugu/whistle-mcp --client claude

Option 2 Manual installation: install the MCP tool globally with npm.

npm install -g whistle-mcp-tool

Configuration and usage notes

After you have installed Whistle MCP Server, configure it in your MCP setup. The following JSON snippet defines how to start the Whistle MCP server locally. Replace host and port with your actual Whistle server address and port.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "whistle-mcp": {
      "command": "whistle-mcp",
      "args": [
        "--host=<whistle server IP address>",
        "--port=<whistle server port number>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Additional configuration details

Host defaults to localhost if not specified. Port defaults to 8899 if not specified.

Troubleshooting and notes

If you encounter connectivity issues, verify that the Whistle MCP Server process is running, and that the host/port you configured match the Whistle server’s listening address. Check for firewall blocks and verify that MCP client settings point to the correct host and port.
