mcprobe helps you secure your Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. It scans your connections to find security risks. This tool checks for injection patterns, sees if tools hide other tools, and tracks changes to your system over time. You do not need to install extra software. It is a single file that works on its own.

🔍 Understanding the features
mcprobe provides several functions to keep your data safe.
Checking for injection patterns
The tool looks for common entry points where bad actors try to force your server to run unwanted commands. It tests your prompts for patterns that might lead to unauthorized actions.
Finding tool shadowing
Sometimes, a server has two tools with the same name. This can confuse your system. mcprobe detects these overlaps. It tells you which tool takes priority so you can fix the conflict.
Creating a baseline
You can scan your server while it works well. The tool records this state. Later, you can scan the server ag
