Securing the MCP Servers Ecosystem

MCP servers are becoming essential for AI assistants and IDEs, but they also introduce new risks that traditional AppSec tools can’t address. This ebook maps the emerging attack paths — from tool poisoning to shadowing and toxic flows — and unpacks real-world incidents to show how to defend against them with practical, flow-aware strategies.

You’ll discover:

• Case studies of GitHub and WhatsApp MCP exploits.

• Why governance (pinning, auditability, guardrails) matters for MCP adoption.

• How to secure MCP servers with Snyk’s MCP-Scan and Toxic Flow Analysis.
