By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Aster-Works has released Aster Guard MCP, a new GitHub Marketplace Action designed to scan configuration files for MCP and Claude Code. This tool aims to identify potential security risks before connecting AI coding environments to MCP servers, which can grant agents access to sensitive system resources. The scanner statically analyzes configuration files for dangerous patterns like hidden instructions, hardcoded secrets, and overbroad filesystem access, providing a risk score and actionable recommendations without executing code or sending telemetry. AI
