MCP Security is Broken — So I Built a Scanner

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the new standard for connecting AI agents to tools. The security is a disaster right now.

BlueRock Security scanned 7,000+ live MCP servers 36.7% were vulnerable to SSRF. Hundreds had zero authentication or encryption.

So I built AgentWarden — a CLI tool that scans MCP servers for real vulnerabilities:

  • Unauthenticated endpoints
  • SSRF via tool parameters
  • Prompt injection in tool descriptions (tool poisoning)
  • Path traversal in file tools
  • Tool shadowing and typosquatting
  • Missing rate limiting
  • TLS misconfigurations
  • Sensitive data exposure

Usage:
agentwarden scan https://your-mcp-server.com -v
agentwarden scan https://your-mcp-server.com -o report.html

GitHub: https://github.com/Agent-Warden/Agent-Warden

Scanned several live MCP servers already. Would love feedback/contribution from anyone in the security space building on MCP.
