Developer audits 11,115 MCP servers, finds majority medium risk

A developer has created a three-layer security audit system named Sentinel to assess the security of MCP servers. This system analyzed over 11,000 MCP servers, identifying a significant number of medium-risk servers and a smaller quantity of high and critical-risk servers. The audit process involved metadata analysis, static code examination, and a Docker sandbox with adversarial probing, culminating in the issuance of signed SHA-256 certificates for verified servers.

    How I built a 3-layer security audit for 11,115 MCP servers

    <p>MCP servers run arbitrary code on your machine. I built Sentinel — a 3-layer audit (metadata + static analysis + Docker sandbox with adversarial probing) that certified 11,115+ servers with signed SHA-256 certificates.</p> <p>Results: 6 low risk, 10,831 medium, 125 high, 16 cr…
