+# mcpcap Examples
+
+This directory contains example PCAP files and usage demonstrations.
+
+## Example Files
+
+- `dns.pcap` - Sample DNS traffic capture for testing mcpcap functionality
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Analysis
+
+**Analyze the entire examples directory:**
+```bash
+mcpcap --pcap-path ./examples
+```
+
+**Analyze specific file:**
+```bash
+mcpcap --pcap-path ./examples/dns.pcap
+```
+
+**With packet limits for faster testing:**
+```bash
+mcpcap --pcap-path ./examples/dns.pcap --max-packets 50
+```
+
+### MCP Client Testing
+
+**With MCP Inspector:**
+```bash
+npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
+npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector mcpcap --pcap-path ./examples/dns.pcap
+```
+
+Then use the web interface to:
+- Call `list_pcap_files()` to see available files
+- Call `list_dns_packets()` (leave filename empty for direct file mode)
+- View structured DNS analysis results
+
+### Analysis Prompts
+
+Use these specialized prompts in your MCP client:
+
+- **`security_analysis`** - Focus on threat detection in DNS traffic
+- **`network_troubleshooting`** - Identify DNS performance issues  
+- **`forensic_investigation`** - Detailed timeline and attribution analysis
+
+## Creating Your Own Examples
+
+To add new example files:
+
+1. Place PCAP files (`.pcap` or `.pcapng`) in this directory
+2. Update this README with descriptions
+3. Test with the mcpcap server
+
+## Sample Output
+
+When analyzing DNS packets, you'll get structured JSON output including:
+
+- Packet timestamps and network details
+- DNS query/response information
+- Statistics (queries, responses, unique domains)
+- Security-relevant metadata
