Demonstrates critical security vulnerabilities in the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and provides defensive tools to mitigate attacks.

Example Use Cases

1
Detect and defend against malicious tool descriptions in MCP.
2
Prevent data exfiltration and hijacking via MCP tool poisoning.
3
That require secure integration of third-party tools using MCP.

Description

This repository contains security research focused on identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in MCP, such as data exfiltration, tool hijacking, and instruction overrides. It offers proof-of-concept attack demonstrations alongside a defense framework to sanitize and secure MCP tool descriptions. The project aims to educate and help developers protect AI agents using MCP from malicious tool poisoning.
