PCAP capture: bring packet evidence into Mqttable

How packet captures become analysis results, diagnostic checks, replay candidates, and reports.

/pcap-analysis is a product surface in Mqttable. It exists because MQTT debugging needs a place for this job, not because every task should start from MCP. This page focuses on the product workflow. MCP support is a companion layer: use it when automation helps, not as the starting point for every task.

Capture file to analyzer to diagnostic checks to replay candidates.

Human job

  • Import or capture packet evidence.
  • Keep the source artifact linked to analysis results.
  • Use findings and checks to decide whether a Replay scenario is worth creating.

Automation handoff

  • MCP and CLI are supporting surfaces here, not the whole story.
  • Use MCP reads when the same state needs to be inspected by an agent.
  • If an action changes MQTT state, use schema, plan, confirmation, apply, and verify.

Boundary

Keep this surface focused. If the job belongs to another workflow, move there instead of turning one page into everything.
