Summary

Model Context Protocol Security is a CSA community project providing guidance, best practices, tools, and community resources for securing MCP (Model Context Protocol) deployments. It targets security teams, developers, and operations engineers deploying MCP servers & agents in production. It matters because MCP enables powerful integrations for AI, which introduces risks (credential theft, data exposure, tool misuse, etc.) that need structured mitigation.
