MCP Scanner Tool: Secure MCP Server Vulnerability Scanner

How an MCP scanner tool tests Model Context Protocol servers for tool poisoning, prompt injection, and data exfiltration in agentic AI stacks.
Why an MCP scanner tool is now a buying requirement
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) turns any LLM app into an agentic system: the model calls tools, reads external context, and takes actions on the user's behalf. That new surface — MCP servers exposing tools, resources, and prompts — is exactly where 2026's most damaging LLM breaches happened. An MCP server security scanner is the only way to know whether your tools tolerate malicious inputs, and a runtime AI agent protection platform is the only way to stop attacks that reach production.
What an MCP vulnerability scanner tests
How FilterPrompt runs an MCP scan
- Connect the MCP server URL (or npx / docker command) to a FilterPrompt tenant.
- Choose the MCP probe pack — starter (12 probes) or full (40+ probes).
- Run the scan; every tool call gets judge-scored with evidence and severity.
- Export the PDF report — audit-ready for ISO 42001 and the EU AI Act.
- Flip on runtime protection so the same rules block attacks live in production.
