Core definitions and values of the mcp-is-dangerous tool
mcp-is-dangerous is an open source security detection tool released on GitHub by developer Shaojie Jiang in Python. The tool is specifically designed to identify Model Context Protocol (MCP) service security vulnerabilities in the AI tools ecosystem.
Its core function is to detect whether the MCP service has the following security risks by simulating attacks: 1) Unauthorized access to system environment variables 2) Illegal reading of local files. The tool detects the following security risks byget_environment_variablesand other functions proactively expose these potential threats, helping developers identify security issues early in development.
Typical Application Scenarios
- security audit: Verify that MCP services are compliant
- Teaching Demonstration: Demonstrating Security Hazards in the AI Toolchain
- development testing: As a security check node in the CI/CD process
