Whenever a new technology appears, it’s usually two steps forward, one step backward. The backward step is usually security-related. Such is the story with AI, and more specifically, Model Context Protocol (MCP). Innovation keeps on running ahead of security.
On the one hand, MCP servers have been a boon to engineers. LLMs can now speak in ‘common tongue’ to each other, to data sources, tools, and even people. They can connect to data they wouldn’t otherwise have access to, beyond training data or what’s public online.
