In plain words

Golf Firewall is a security layer designed for enterprises that expose MCP servers. It protects these servers from malicious requests and data breaches by blocking prompt injections, personally identifiable information leaks, and credential exposure before they reach customer agents. The product is built for companies operating MCP infrastructure who need to safeguard sensitive data and maintain server integrity against security threats.

From the sources

Golf Firewall is the security layer for companies exposing MCP servers. It protects your MCP server from serving malicious or sensitive data - blocking prompt injections, PII leaks, and credential exposure before they reach customer agents.

Your teams connect Cursor, Claude Code, and Copilot to production via MCP. These connections bypass your SIEM, DLP, and identity layer. Golf discovers every one of them. It reads customer records, deal pipelines, and contact lists via MCP. It can update fields, create records, export data. Your security team was never notified — because the engineer set it up in 30 seconds. Someone connected it via MCP. It's closing issues, changing priorities, reassigning work across your org. No one approved it. No one's reviewing what it does. It injects hidden instructions into tool responses. Your agent follows them - exfiltrating data, modifying records, escalating permissions. It looks normal. Your…from golf.dev

    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, Gabriel, Co-Founder at Permit.io. We're releasing Permit MCP Gateway today, an authorization proxy for MCP servers. TL;DR - we built an MCP Gateway that developers love and CISOs trust. Watch more[0] Now, after your little hate on using fancy copy on HN, to the real thing: MCP is in a strange place. Developers are debating whether it's overcomplicated compared to CLIs or skills files. Meanwhile, enterprises are adopting it by default because every agentic system that acts on your behalf, Cursor, Claude, Copilot, internal agents, needs a stable infrastructure for connecting to tools.…

  • ContextGuard2025 · github.com · ▲12

    I built ContextGuard after discovering that 43% of MCP servers have critical security vulnerabilities. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the new standard that lets Claude Clients(Desktop, Windsurf, Cursor, etc.) access external tools and data sources - think of it as a plugin system for AI assistants. The problem: When you give those clients access to your filesystem, databases, or APIs through MCP servers, you're opening up serious attack vectors. Prompt injection, data leakage, and path traversal attacks are all possible. Most developers building MCP servers don't have security expertise,…
