Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.

Block prompt injection, tool poisoning, rug-pulls and credential theft in Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers -- at runtime, on your machine. Your AI agent trusts every MCP server it talks to; mcpm scores each install, verifies its supply chain with Sigstore, pins every tool definition, and inspects every tool call through a local relay -- with an opt-in OS sandbox on macOS. No cloud, no account, no LLM in the enforcement path.

Everything runs on your machine. No account, no mcpm backend, no telemetry -- the guard is a local stdio relay, and trust scores are computed locally with no model and no remote verdict (the 40-point static-scan bucket is deterministic regex/structural checks you can read yourself; the rest is a local health check, registry metadata, and an external scanner only if you name one). Commands that resolve, audit or re-verify a server do reach the public MCP registry and npm -- nothing reaches an mcpm server.

The risky part of an MCP server doesn't show up at install -- it shows up while your agent is running: prompt injection hidden in a tool's output, a server that quietly rewrites
