awesome-mcp-security looks at nine important areas:
- Prompt Injection – detects if harmful commands can change how the system behaves.
- Toxic Flows – finds conversations that could lead to harmful or inappropriate content.
- Attack Surface Risks – spots weak points that attackers might use.
- Model Context Protocol (MCP) Compliance – checks if servers follow good rules for data handling.
- Trust Score – an overall rating based on all tests.
- Data Privacy – ensures servers handle user data safely.
- Update Frequency – how often the server fixes problems.
- Access Controls – who can use or change the server.
- Response to Threats – how fast the server reacts to attacks.
Each test gives a clear result that you can understand, no technical background needed.
To keep the app working well:
- Check the download page regularly for new versions.
- Download and install updates like you did for the first install.
