Description

The MCP Server Security Standard (MSSS) defines 24 security controls across 8 domains with 4 compliance levels to help organizations secure MCP servers from threats like command injection, path traversal, SSRF, and supply chain attacks. It offers a risk-based framework inspired by established standards, deployment profiles, and machine-readable reporting to facilitate implementation and verification. MSSS supports community contributions and aims to improve MCP server security through comprehensive guidelines and evidence-based verification.
