OWASP Releases Guide for Secure MCP Server Use

This title was summarized by AI from the post below.

🚀 New Resource: The Practical Guide for Securely Using Third-Party MCP Servers The OWASP GenAI Security Project is proud to announce the release of A Practical Guide for Securely Using Third-Party MCP Servers, a comprehensive resource for organizations and developers adopting the Model Context Protocol (MCP). As the use of MCP servers expands, connecting AI systems to tools, APIs, and data, so does the need for robust security practices. This guide provides actionable recommendations to mitigate emerging risks such as: 🔹 Tool poisoning and prompt injection 🔹 Memory poisoning and tool interference 🔹 Authentication, authorization, and secure client-server discovery 🔹 Governance and automated security tooling Whether you’re integrating third-party MCP servers or building AI agent ecosystems, this document will help you strengthen your defenses against evolving GenAI threats. 📘 Download the guide: https://lnkd.in/gXdD2nTS A huge thank-you to the contributors, reviewers, and sponsors across the OWASP GenAI Security Project community who made this resource possible! #OWASP #GenAISecurity #AI #Cybersecurity #MCP #AITrust #OpenSourceSecurity

An excellent and timely guide from the Agentic Security Initiative, i am proud to co-lead with Ron F. Del Rosario. Massive well done to the workstream leaders Idan Habler, PhD Tomer Elias and Joshua Beck and the many contributors Keren Katz, Netanel Rotem, Victor Lu, Sonu Kumar, Gurpreet Kaur Khalsa, Ken Huang, Rico Komenda, Brian M. Green, Almog Langleben, Riggs Goodman III. Venkata Sai Kishore Modalavalasa Abhishek Mishra, Sumeet Jeswani, Adrian Sroka ,Brian M. Green,Syed Aamiruddin Roco Komenda, John Cotter, Saquib Saifee, Mohsin Khan, Dipen Shah,Subaru Ueno, and many others!

It is a big deal to create the cybersecurity guidelines like that, especially now when everyone is suddenly an AI developer. This work will never be 100% completed - big kudos to all collaborators!

It was a great pleasure to work on this guide !

Strong work and thank you to everyone who contributed. This will help move MCP conversations from generic safety talk to real engineering choices.

Great share! I’ve also shared it in the AI Security group on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/14545517/ and Twitter: https://x.com/AISecHub

Couldn’t come sooner! This will become an essential resource to securing the Application Layer of the AI Tech Stack.

For running MCP servers, it need communicate with many API servers, and know how to protect the keys are important!!
