Welcome to the Jungle: What We Found Inside 15,465 Public MCP Servers

A security team at OX Security examined 15,465 public Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and discovered critical vulnerabilities in Anthropic's MCP implementation. The ecosystem supporting MCP, which aims to standardize connections between artificial intelligence (AI) models, agents, and development tools, has lagged behind the protocol's adoption across enterprises and developers.

Why it matters: Organizations using MCP servers in AI agent workflows face exposure to critical vulnerabilities; security teams should audit their MCP integrations and vendor configurations immediately.
