ShieldMCP is a security scanner designed to assess MCP (Model Context Protocol) configuration files for vulnerabilities and risks. The platform addresses security concerns by scanning uploaded or pasted MCP configuration files and checking for issues across all categories defined in the OWASP MCP Top 10. It flags permission risks, exposed secrets, supply chain threats, and other security weaknesses in MCP setups, providing users with a rapid assessment in about 60 seconds without requiring an account.
json, among others. After a configuration file is uploaded, ShieldMCP conducts an instant scan that covers categories such as token mismanagement, privilege escalation, tool poisoning, software supply chain attacks, command injection, insufficient authentication, lack of audit, shadow MCP servers, and context injection. For each identified issue, the tool offers plain English explanations and, with a paid report, provides detailed fix steps and copy-paste JSON configuration examples.
ShieldMCP is delivered as a web-based service, allowing users to upload or paste their configuration files directly on the platform. No account is necessary for the basic scan, and results are available immediately. The service is intended for users managing or securing MCP deployments who want to proactively identify and address security vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
The platform offers a simple pricing structure: a free tier provides risk scores, category flags, issue titles, and server ratings, while a one-time $49 payment per scan unlocks a full report with detailed fixes, configuration examples, and a shareable PDF. A Pro plan, listed as coming soon, will offer additional features such as API access, auto-rescan alerts, scan history, team configuration management, and Slack alerts for $19 per month. ShieldMCP positions itself as a specialized tool for MCP security, focusing on comprehensive coverage of the OWASP MCP Top 10.
In the Security & compliance platforms space, ShieldMCP takes a focused approach. It focuses on identifying and fixing security vulnerabilities in MCP server configurations quickly and easily. It is built as a B2B product for MCP administrators and security professionals. A free plan is available; paid tiers begin at $29. It runs on the web.
