Shadow MCP refers to the unauthorized use of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers on organizational devices, posing significant security risks. This protocol allows large language models (LLMs) to access local data and external resources, but without proper governance, it can lead to data exfiltration, unvetted tool execution, and credential exposure. Tools like Bifrost are being developed to provide the necessary visibility and governance to detect and secure these connections. AI
