Ship Safe open-source MCP scanner separates risky-looking tools from exploitable ones
DiscussionHealthy802 · reddit · 2026-09-04
The maintainer of Ship Safe, an open-source scanner for MCP servers and AI coding agents, explains its core design: distinguishing tools that merely look risky from tools an agent can actually reach with a credential. The scanner records evidence and only derives a verdict when the exploitation path is supported, and asks MCP builders what a report needs before calling a tool exploitable.
