What it does

MCP Checkpoint continuously secures and monitors Model Context Protocol operations through static and dynamic scans, revealing hidden risks in agent-to-tool communications.

MCP Armor continuously secures and monitors Model Context Protocol operations through static and dynamic scans, revealing hidden risks in agent-to-tool communications. - aira-security/mcp-armor

MCP Armor is a comprehensive security scanner for Model Context Protocol (MCP). Automatically discovers, analyzes, and secures MCP servers integrated with all major Agentic IDEs, Agents and Clients. pip install mcp-armor 🏃 Quick Start # Scan all configurations with security analysis (auto-detects baseline.json if present) mcp-armor scan # Inspect configurations and generate baseline (defaults to baseline.json) mcp-armor inspect # Use custom configuration file mcp-armor scan --config /path/to/config.json # Scan multiple configuration files mcp-armor scan \ --config /path/to/cursor.mcp.json \ --config /path/to/vscode.mcp.json # Use custom baseline file path mcp-armor inspect --baseline…from github.com

  • MCP-Shield – Detect security issues in MCP servers2025 · github.com · ▲134

    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…

  • An MCP server that gives LLMs temporal awareness and time calculation2025 · github.com · ▲91

    This is an open‑source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives any LLM a sense of the passage of time. Most MCP demos wire LLMs to external data stores. That’s useful, but MCP is also a chance to give models perception — extra senses beyond the prompt text. Six functions (`current_datetime`, `time_difference`, `timestamp_context`, etc.) give Claude&#x2F;GPT real temporal awareness: It can spot pauses, reason about rhythms, and even label a chat’s “three‑act structure”. Runs locally in <60 s (Python) or via a hosted demo. If time works, what else could we surface? - Location &#x2F;…

  • Risk Analysis Database of Every MCP ServerFeb 2026 · mcp.armor1.ai · ▲22

    Hi HN, We’re building security tooling around agentic AI systems. Today, we're releasing our public MCP catalog with detailed risk analysis for every MCP server we've found on the internet: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mcp.armor1.ai&#x2F;mcp-directory We all love agents and the power that MCPs unlock: suddenly your AI assistant can query databases, manage files, call APIs, and interact with the real world. But when we started adopting MCPs ourselves, we kept running into the same nagging questions: Is this MCP safe? Where is my data actually going? Could it execute destructive actions? Is it…

  • 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,…
