I built a security scanner for MCP server configurations

Source: DEV Community

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is becoming the standard way AI assistants connect to external tools. But with 66% of MCP servers having security findings and 30+ CVEs filed in early 2026 alone, configuration security is a real problem. I built agent-audit — an open-source CLI tool that scans your MCP server configurations for common security issues: 🎯 Prompt injection — instruction overrides, jailbreak attempts, invisible Unicode, role hijacking 💻 Command injection — unsafe shell execution, template literals in exec calls, path traversal 🔑 Credential exposure — hardcoded API keys, AWS credentials, tokens in configs 🔓 Auth bypass — disabled SSL/TLS verification, commented-out security checks ⚠️ Excessive permissions — overly broad access to sensitive operations Quick start npx @piiiico/agent-audit --auto The --auto flag auto-detects your Claude Desktop configuration. You can also point it at specific config files or use --json for CI/CD integration. Why this matters RSAC 2026 made MCP
