MCP server security risks highlighted; Correctover offers pre-publish rating

MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, which extend LLM capabilities with tools like fetch or database access, pose significant security risks. These servers run within users' agent environments, making them vulnerable to attacks such as server-side request forgery (SSRF), prompt injection, and dangerous file access. A recent audit of 11 AI frameworks revealed widespread MCP and LLM security issues, with over 1,730 verified vulnerabilities logged. To address this, Correctover offers a CCS rating API that provides a security score for MCP servers before they are published on platforms like Smithery or Glama, helping developers mitigate risks.
