A new security linter called mcp-audit has been developed to address the lack of security reviews for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. These servers can grant language models capabilities like running commands or accessing internal data, posing risks if not properly secured. The mcp-audit tool analyzes MCP servers by enumerating their tools and resources, applying a set of security rules, and reporting findings in formats compatible with CI pipelines like SARIF 2.1.0 for GitHub code scanning.
