Test Your Remote MCP Servers for Security Vulnerabilities

StackHawk tests remote MCP servers for security vulnerabilities, finding injection attacks, SSRF, and data exposure before they reach production. Same runtime testing engine, same platform, new protocol.

MCP Servers Are a Front-Line Attack Vector

MCP servers connect AI tools directly to your APIs, databases, and internal systems — inheriting every vulnerability in your backend through a protocol most teams aren’t testing. They proliferate fast, often without security review, exposing both organizations and their end users to injection attacks, SSRF, and data exposure.

Close The Blind Spot

Most teams are shipping MCP servers with zero automated security testing. StackHawk gives your AppSec team coverage over an attack surface that had no tooling until now.

Zero New Workflow

Add an MCP block to your stackhawk.yml and run a scan. Same config file, same scanning engine, same platform. Your team doesn’t need to learn a separate tool to secure a new surface.

Actionable Findings

Results tie to specific MCP tools, not raw JSON-RPC calls so developers know exactly what to fix and where. Plus, findings show up alongside existing StackHawk findings with reproduction steps and remediation guidance.

MCP Server Risks StackHawk Helps Prevent

By simply pointing StackHawk at your MCP server, it automatically finds every tool your server exposes, scans each for security risks, and surfaces them alongside your other risks.

Injection Attacks

MCP tools that pass user input to a backend database or web interface without validation, enabling unauthorized access or session hijacking.

Server-Side Request Forgery

MCP tools that can be used to reach internal systems, cloud metadata, or admin panels that were never meant to be externally accessible.

Sensitive Data Exposure

MCP tools that return more than intended — PII, API keys, or internal system details — in their responses.
