What is the MCP Har Server MCP server?

Mcp har server mcp server connects MCP Har Server to AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. An MCP server that parses HAR files and returns requests in a simplified format.

What MCP Har Server does

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.

This tool uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which allows AI assistants to interact with external tools and services. Learn more about MCP at https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk.

Key capabilities

  • 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

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 6 tools directly:

  • macOS — ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows — %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
  • 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
  • domain_list — Lists all unique domains found in a HAR file to help reduce output volume and provide filtering options
  • Installation — The Installation tool exposed by this server

Installing the mcp har server mcp server

Setup follows the standard MCP pattern: clone or install the server, then register it in your client's configuration file and restart the client. The configuration snippets on this page cover Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. MCP Har Server sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — macOS, Windows, har_viewer among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
  • Maintained by naotaka3, written in TypeScript.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the mcp har server mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.

Frequently asked questions

It connects MCP Har Server to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 6 tools (macOS, Windows, har_viewer, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with MCP Har Server directly.
