A security analysis of 15,465 public MCP servers revealed critical governance gaps, including unvetted code, data residency risks, and lack of security controls. The study highlights vulnerabilities in AI model integration ecosystems and warns of potential data exposure through untrusted server infrastructures.

In 2024, MCP (Model Context Protocol) set out to become the USB-C of AI: one standard for connecting models, agents, and IDEs to tools and data. The protocol delivered. Thousands of developers built servers, and enterprises plugged them into agent workflows.

The ecosystem around it fell short. Earlier this year, our team at OX Security, traced critical vulnerabilities in Anthropic's MCP
