mcp-guard
Security scanner for MCP servers: tool poisoning, shadowing, permissions, secrets, transport.
What it does
mcp-guard is an MCP server, a connector that lets an AI assistant use it as a tool. It is installed locally as a package and runs on your machine.
From the publisher's description, Electra Index matched it to one capability: security scanning. That makes it a candidate for tasks such as scan code for vulnerabilities or review pull requests.
Facts come from the Official MCP Registry, as declared by the publisher. Capabilities are matched automatically (low confidence). None of this is a test of the tool.
