AIShield Security Scanner Overview

AIShield Security Scanner MCP server brings local security analysis for MCP servers, AI tools, prompts, and agent metadata into MCP-compatible clients. Its tools cover static scanning, pre-installation guardrails, prompt injection checks, rug-pull detection, MCP handshake analysis, sandbox assessment, identity signing, attestations, and evidence chains. The project runs locally through npx or Python, and scanning does not execute the configuration being inspected. Reach for it when you need a security gate before installing or invoking third-party MCP tools, or when you need machine-readable trust and audit records.

Primary Use Cases for AIShield Security Scanner:
  • Scan an MCP repository before installation
  • Block risky third-party tools in an automated gate
  • Check prompts for injection and data-exfiltration patterns
  • Detect security regressions between tool versions
