One question about http mode, you carry authorization headers. Do you redact bearer tokens before captures hit the logs?

#22One question about http mode, you carry authorization headers. Do you redact bearer tokens before captures hit the logs?
There's nothing redacted because the header isn't collected in the first place. Under http mode, the proxy intercepts the JSON-RPC messages, but not their headers, so there's no way for the log to contain the Authorization header and the bearer passes through unlogged. The contents of the messages themselves aren't redacted, which means if the secret is in the payload, it'll end up in the trace. The trace stays on yo…

#27"MCP Inspector [...] never sees the traffic between your client and your server." This line resonates a lot, what you're building makes sense to me! I had built something similar to track these interactions and turn them into a benchmark, I'm gonna try this out.

#28Makes sense. Payload secrets are probably the scarier part anyway. Would a simple redact config make sense, like keys/patterns to scrub before writing traces?
