The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that enables secure connections between host applications (like Claude Desktop) and external data sources and tools. As enterprises increasingly adopt AI infrastructure, understanding the security posture of MCP deployments becomes critical for: - Data Governance : Ensuring sensitive information isn't exposed through misconfigured MCP servers - Attack Surface Management : Identifying publicly accessible AI infrastructure components - Compliance : Meeting regulatory requirements for AI system security - Risk Assessment : Understanding the broader AI ecosystem your organization interacts with This scanner helps security professionals identify publicly exposed MCP servers for research and assess","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/knostic","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/knostic/MCP-Scanner/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
