MCP Registry Security Analysis: 64.7% of Entries Unverifiable

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A security analysis of the MCP Registry revealed that a significant portion of its entries are not easily verifiable. Out of 55,934 active entries, 64.7% could not be checked against public vulnerability databases like OSV or NVD due to missing package information or being remote-only URLs. Of the checkable entries, only 9 listed a version with a known advisory, and for most of these, the listed version was not the package's latest release. Additionally, 13.4% of linked GitHub repositories were found to be dead links, further complicating security assessments. AI
