Overview of MCPSecBench

main.py: an automated testing script including part attacks.
addserver.py: normal server for computation.
maliciousadd.py: malicious server.
download.py: a normal server for checking signature.
squatting.py: a malicious server for server name squatting.
client.py: client that connect with MCP host and server. At present, it support OpenAI and Claude. It can be extended for Deepseek, Llama, and QWen.
mitm.py: the script that implements Man-in-the-Middle attack.
index.js: the script for DNS rebinding attack.
cve-2025-6541.py: a malicious server to trigger CVE-2025-6541.
claudedesktopconfig.json: the configuration for Claude Desktop.
prompts: example prompts for testing.
results: only for openai at present.

Set up MCPSecBench

needs: python version higher than 3.10

add dependencies

uv add starlette pydantic pydantic_settings mcp[cli] anthropic aiohttp openai pyautogui pyperclip

you may need to use apt install some extra dependencies to activate pyautogui

change the basepath in malicious_add.py to you real path

for tool name squatting and server name squatting in Claude. Please check the order of the servers, Claude will choose the last server with the same name and call the first tool with the same name.

How to use MCPSecBench

Test Script

The auto check supports OpenAI and Cursor at present. To implement in Claude Desktop, please change the parameter of waitforimage in main.py such as img/cursor_init.png to the screenshot of Claude Desktop.

set APIKey. export OPENAI
