README Excerpt

> **Security scanner for MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers.** Detect malicious tools, data exfiltration, and supply chain risks before connecting an MCP server to your AI agent. --- MCP servers give AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) direct access to tools, filesystems, and APIs. **But nobody is checking if those servers are safe.**
