This repository serves as a comprehensive, curated collection of resources focused on the security of the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It targets developers, security researchers, and AI practitioners working with MCP-enabled systems, providing a centralized hub for understanding and mitigating potential vulnerabilities.

How It Works

The collection is structured to cover various facets of MCP security, from foundational considerations and academic research to practical tools and real-world exploits. It categorizes information into papers, videos, articles, tools, and specific server implementations, allowing users to navigate the threat landscape and defensive strategies efficiently. The emphasis is on identifying attack vectors and providing resources for building more secure MCP integrations.

Quick Start & Requirements

This is a curated list of resources, not a software package. No installation or specific requirements are needed to browse the content.

Highlighted Details

• Extensive list of academic papers, blog posts, and video discussions on MCP security threats and best practices, with many dated in 2025, indicating recent activity in the field.
• Features a dedicated section for security tools and code, including scanners, ethical hacking experiments, and defensive shields for MCP servers.
• Includes a "MCP Security Servers" section showcasing integrations with popular security and reverse engineering tools like Ghidra, IDA Pro, Burp Suite, and BloodHound.
• Highlights official security considerations from the MCP specification and discussions around its evolving authentication mechanisms.

Maintenance & Community
