MCP Server Scanner

What is the MCP Server Scanning Tool?

The MCP Server Scanner helps AI agent developers identify security risks in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server configurations before deployment. As MCP becomes the standard for connecting AI agents to external tools and data sources, securing these connections is critical.

Vulnerable MCP servers can compromise your entire agent system, potentially exposing sensitive data, enabling unauthorized access, or allowing malicious code execution through your AI agent.

Agent Security Risks

  • Tool Poisoning: Malicious MCP servers can manipulate your agent's behavior or responses.
  • Data Exfiltration: Vulnerable servers may leak sensitive user data to unauthorized parties.
  • Hidden Instructions: Backdoors in MCP servers can inject hidden commands into your agent.
  • Tool Shadowing: Conflicting tool implementations can cause unexpected behavior in agents.
  • Access Control Bypass: Improper server configurations may grant excessive privileges.
  • Supply Chain Risks: Third-party MCP servers may contain unvetted, vulnerable code.

Best Practices for Agent Developers

  • Scan all MCP server configurations before connecting them to production agents.
  • Implement least-privilege access for MCP servers connecting to sensitive resources.
  • Monitor MCP server interactions for unusual patterns or data access.
  • Regularly update MCP server dependencies and implementations.
  • Create sandboxed environments for testing new MCP server integrations.
Who should use this scanner?

AI engineers and developers building autonomous agents with MCP integrations, especially those handling sensitive data, making critical decisions, or operating with elevated privileges.
