An audit of 8,764 Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers on the MarketNow platform revealed critical security vulnerabilities, including three servers that leaked sensitive environment variables. The audit, which involved a six-layer security check named Sentinel and utilized gVisor for sandboxing, identified several servers susceptible to command injection, SSRF, and prompt injection attacks. While most servers passed the initial checks, a small number exhibited high-risk behaviors, leading to their removal from the marketplace. The project aims to establish a trust layer for agent commerce by providing transparent security audits for MCP servers. AI
