Hey everyone, I've wanted an easy way to control which mcp server tools are available to clients. So for example, I might want a gmail server to only expose the read tool (but not send, delete etc). I figured if I create a cli for spawning mcp servers, I could intercept the stdin, stdout, stderr etc and modify what the clients see when they are making calls to list tools, resources, and prompts. Well it worked! In the initial version you can easily add a server to claude with a safe list of tools: npx -y mcpgod add @modelcontextprotocol/server-everything --client claude --tools=echo,add…

I noticed the growing security concerns around MCP (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43600192) and built an open source tool that can detect several patterns of tool poisoning attacks, exfiltration channels and cross-origin manipulations. MCP-Shield scans your installed servers (Cursor, Claude Desktop, etc.) and shows what each tool is trying to do at the instruction level, beyond just the API surface. It catches hidden instructions that try to read sensitive files, shadow other tools' behavior, or exfiltrate data. Example of what it detects: - Hidden instructions…

Hi HN! I'm Noah, an ordinary guy that got really interested in MCP about a month ago when I downloaded Cursor. It's been super exciting to see companies around the world launch their own MCP servers empowering AI to do more. Unfortunately, I got a bit overwhelmed setting up MCP servers across my clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Claude Code, so I figured I'd take a shot at building an open-source tool to help others and myself! So yeah, I built a CLI tool that enables you to quickly get MCP servers from the Web integrated with your clients like Cursor and Claude Desktop. You can use…

Hi HN - I’m the developer of PingStalker, a macOS utility I built to see what’s really happening on the LAN/WLAN. I live in the CLI, but when it came to discovery and monitoring, I found it limiting. So I built a GUI that brings my favorite tools together in one place. PingStalker started because I wanted to know if something on the network was scanning my machine. I also wanted quick access to core details—external IP, Wi-Fi data, and local topology. Then I wanted more: fast, reliable scans using ARP tables and ICMP. As a Wi-Fi engineer, I couldn’t stop there. I kept adding ways to…

My friends and I built MCP Jetpack which makes it really easy to start using MCP. It’s an MCP server that automatically finds and executes the right tools needed to accomplish your task without having to manage MCP servers for each service (GitHub, Linear, Atlassian, Notion etc.). Once you add it to Cursor (or any other AI app with MCP support), Cursor instantly gets access to a growing library of remote MCP servers without any extra setup. For services that require authentication, you will be asked to login the first time you ask your AI to interact with that service. Two problems we are…
