MCP, short for Model Context Protocol, is a standard for integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) with tools and data.
MCP is not secure by default, posing potential security risks such as command injection vulnerabilities, tool poisoning attacks, silent redefinition, and cross-server tool shadowing.
MCP lacks authentication standard, context encryption, and tool integrity verification, making it vulnerable to tampering.
Developers, platform builders, and users can take certain measures to enhance the security of MCP and mitigate risks.
