Security MCP
Purpose: evaluate security-oriented MCP servers for scanning, policy review, or secret-detection workflows

Verification scope: category guidance only; implementation behavior can vary widely
Mode
Evaluation checklist.
Typical Capabilities
- code scanning
- secret detection
- dependency or policy checks
- incident or finding triage
Main Risks
- false confidence from incomplete findings
- export of private source code or security data
- write actions such as issue creation or ticket updates without review
Approval Questions
- does the server only analyze or can it also mutate systems
- where are findings stored
- does it transmit full source code externally
- what credentials or scopes are required
Suggested Read-Only Trial
Use scan-only mode against a non-sensitive repo or a sanitized code sample first. Keep remediation and ticket-writing actions out of the pilot.
Revocation Plan
- revoke API access
- remove the host config
- delete uploaded or cached findings where supported
Verification Status
Security-themed integrations are not automatically safer than other MCP servers. Treat them as privileged data processors until proven otherwise.
