The MCP Scanner combines Cisco AI Defense inspect API, YARA rules and LLM-based analysis to detect malicious MCP tools. Overview The MCP Scanner provides a comprehensive solution for scanning MCP servers and tools for security findings. It leverages three powerful scanning engines (Yara, LLM-based analysis, Cisco AI Defense) that can be used together or independently. The SDK is designed to be easy to use while providing powerful scanning capabilities, flexible authentication options, and customization. Features - Multiple Modes: Run scanner as a stand-alone CLI tool or REST API server - Multi-Engine Security Analysis : Use all three scanning engines together or independently based on your needs. - Vulnerable Packages Scanning : Scan Python dependencies for known vulnerabilities (CVE/PYSEC/GHSA) using pip-audit integration. - Readiness Scanning : Zero-dependency static analysis for production readiness issues (timeouts, retries, error handling). - Comprehensive Scanning : Scan MCP tools, prompts, resources, and server instructions for security findings - Behavioural Code Scanning : Scan Source code of MCP servers for finding threats. - VirusTotal Binary Scanning : Automatically detect malware in binary files (images, PDFs, executables, archives) bundled with MCP servers using VirusTotal hash lookups. - PyPI Package Scanning : Download and scan PyPI packages i","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/cisco-ai-defense","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/cisco-ai-defense/mcp-scanner/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
