Why it matters

MCP servers concentrate access to tools and data, making server inventory, scoped credentials, and tool-level authorization important controls against unauthorized agent actions.

MCP server vulnerabilities are weaknesses in authentication, permissions, input handling, session controls, or token handling that can enable unauthorized actions and data exposure through AI-agent integrations.
