Whistle MCP Server is a Whistle proxy management tool based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing AI assistants to directly operate and control local Whistle proxy servers. Through this tool, AI can help users manage rules, groups, values, monitor network requests, replay and modify requests, etc., without requiring manual operation of the Whistle interface. It greatly simplifies the process of network debugging, API testing, and proxy rule management, enabling users to complete complex network proxy configuration tasks through natural language interaction with AI.

• Rule Management: Create, update, rename, delete, and enable/disable Whistle rules
• Group Management: Create, rename, delete groups, and associate operations between rules and groups
• Value Management: Create, update, rename, and delete values, with support for value group management
• Proxy Control: Enable/disable proxy, HTTP/HTTPS interception, HTTP/2 protocol, etc.
• Request Interception: View intercepted network request information, with URL filtering support
• Request Replay: Support for replaying captured requests with custom request parameters
• Multi-Rule Mode: Support for enabling/disabling multi-rule mode

Node.js 18.20.0 or newer is required (see engines in package.json). Older versions are not supported.

To install Whistle MCP Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

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

You can install Whistle MCP Server globally via npm:

npm install -g whistle-mcp-tool

From the repository root:

npm install
npm run build

The build output entry is dist/index.js (the same file used by the whistle-mcp CLI after a global install). You can also point MCP config at it with node and the path to dist/index.js.

By default the server uses stdio (suitable for local MCP clients such as Cursor).

To expose Streamable HTTP and SSE on the same process (for remote or HTTP-capable clients), use --transport http-stream. FastMCP then listens on --mcp-host / --mcp-port and serves:

• Streamable HTTP: http://<mcp-host>:<mcp-port><mcp-endpoint> (default path /mcp)
• SSE: http://<mcp-host>:<mcp-port>/sse

Aliases for http-stream: sse, streamable-http (same mode; both URLs are available).

Whistle connection options are unchanged: --host, --port, --username / --password (or -n / -w).

Example (HTTP transport + local Whistle on 8899; MCP listens on 8085 by default):

whistle-mcp --transport http-stream --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8899

Use --mcp-port <port> to override the default 8085.

After installation, you can configure Whistle MCP in your MCP JSON configuration file:

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

If you start Whistle with basic auth (same flags as the Whistle CLI: w2 start -n <username> -w <password>), pass the same credentials to this MCP server so HTTP requests to Whistle’s API succeed:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "whistle-mcp": {
      "command": "whistle-mcp",
      "args": [
        "--host=localhost",
        "--port=8899",
        "--username=<username>",
        "--password=<password>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Short options (aligned with w2): -n / -w are equivalent to --username / --password.

whistle-mcp --host localhost --port 8899 -n myuser -w mypass

• host: Whistle server IP address; defaults to localhost if omitted
• port: Whistle server port; defaults to 8899 if omitted
• username (-n / --username): Basic auth username when Whistle was started with -n; omit if Whistle has no login
• password (-w / --password): Basic auth password when Whistle was started with -w; if username is set but password is omitted, an empty password is sent
