The Guardian Protocol - MCP-based security monitoring for agentic AI systems
MCP Security Scanner for AI Agents
Mund (Old English: "protection, guardian") is a real-time security scanner for AI agent systems. It detects prompt injection, secrets, PII, dangerous code patterns, and data exfiltration attempts. New in v0.1.11: Scan MCP servers for security issues before you install them.
| Category | What It Detects |
|---|---|
| Prompt Injection | Role manipulation, instruction override, jailbreak attempts, hidden Unicode |
| Secrets | API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS, GitHub, Stripe), tokens, private keys, database URLs |
| PII | SSN, credit cards, emails, phone numbers, IP addresses |
| Code Patterns | Shell injection, SQL injection, dangerous chmod, curl|bash, eval |
| Exfiltration | Suspicious URLs, DNS tunneling, base64-encoded data blocks |
| MCP Servers | Malicious tool descriptions, typosquatting, dangerous permissions, embedded secrets |
# npm
npm install @weave_protocol/mund
# Or run directly
npx @weave_protocol/mund
Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mund": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@weave_protocol/mund"]
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop. Mund's security tools are now available.
import { AnalyzerEngine, getAnalyzers } from '@weave_protocol/mund';
const engine = new AnalyzerEngine(getAnalyzers());
const issues = await engine.analyzeAll(content, rules);
if (issues.some(i => i.severity === 'critical')) {
console.error('Critical security issues detected!');
}
Scan MCP servers before you install them. Mund detects malicious tool descriptions, typosquatting attacks, dangerous permissions, and embedded secrets in server manifests.
githib vs github)mund_scan_mcp_serverFull security scan of a server manifest before installation.
Input: { manifest: "<server.json content>", source?: "registry URL" }
Output: {
server_name: "example-server",
recommendation: "DO_NOT_INSTALL" | "REVIEW_CAREFULLY" | "CAUTION" | "APPEARS_SAFE",
capabilities: { network: true, filesystem: false, execution: true, ... },
issues: [
{
rule_id: "mcp_tool_injection",
rule_name: "Injection Pattern: Instruction Override",
severity: "critical",
match: "Tool 'run_command': ignore previous instructions...",
suggestion: "DO NOT install this server."
}
]
}
mund_check_typosquattingCheck if a server name is suspiciously similar to a known legitimate server.
Input: { name: "githib-mcp" }
Output: {
name: "githib-mcp",
is_suspicious: true,
similar_to: ["github"],
recommendation: "Verify you have the correct server from a trusted source."
}
mund_audit_mcp_permissionsAnalyze what capabilities an MCP server's tools require.
Input: { manifest: "<server.json content>" }
Output: {
server_name: "filesystem-server",
overall_risk_level: "HIGH",
capabilities: {
network: false,
filesystem: true,
execution: true,
environment: false,
database: false
},
capability_summary: [
"⚠️ Can execute commands/code on your system",
"📁 Can read/write files"
],
tools: [
{ name: "run_shell", detected_permissions: ["execution"], risk: "HIGH" },
{ name: "read_file", detected_permissions: ["filesystem"], risk: "LOW" }
]
}
| Threat | Detection Method |
|---|---|
| Prompt Injection in Tools | Scans tool descriptions for "ignore instructions", role switching, jailbreak patterns |
| Hidden Unicode | Detects zero-width characters that can hide malicious content |
| Typosquatting | Levenshtein distance + substitution patterns (0→o, 1→l) against known servers |
| Dangerous Permissions | Flags tools with execution, network, filesystem, or environment access |
| Embedded Secrets | Scans manifest for API keys, tokens, connection strings |
| Suspicious Metadata | Flags missing versions, URL shorteners in repository links |
mund_scanScan any content for security issues.
Input: { content: "Here's my API key: sk-abc123..." }
Output: {
safe: false,
issue_count: 1,
issues: [{
rule_id: "openai_api_key",
severity: "critical",
match: "sk-a****123",
suggestion: "Use environment variables instead of hardcoding."
}]
}
mund_scan_conversationScan an entire conversation history.
Input: {
messages: [
{ role: "user", content: "My SSN is 123-45-6789" },
{ role: "assistant", content: "I'll help you with that..." }
]
}
mund_check_secretCheck if a specific string looks like a secret.
Input: { value: "ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" }
Output: {
is_secret: true,
secret_type: "GitHub Personal Access Token",
confidence: 0.95
}
mund_check_piiScan content specifically for personally identifiable information.
Input: { content: "Contact john@example.com or call 555-123-4567" }
Output: {
contains_pii: true,
pii_types: ["email_address", "phone_number_us"],
issues: [...]
}
mund_get_statsGet scanning statistics and detection history.
Output: {
total_scans: 1547,
issues_detected: 89,
by_type: { secret: 34, pii: 28, injection: 15, ... }
}
| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
MUND_TRANSPORT | stdio or http | stdio |
MUND_PORT | HTTP server port | 3000 |
MUND_LOG_LEVEL | debug, info, warn, error | info |
MUND_BLOCK_MODE | Block on critical issues | false |
MUND_STORAGE | memory or sqlite | memory |
Mund can alert on detections via Slack, Teams, email, or webhooks:
# Slack
MUND_SLACK_WEBHOOK=https://hooks.slack.com/services/...
MUND_SLACK_CHANNEL=#security-alerts
# Microsoft Teams
MUND_TEAMS_WEBHOOK=https://outlook.office.com/webhook/...
# Email
MUND_EMAIL_SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MUND_EMAIL_TO=security@company.com
# Generic Webhook
MUND_WEBHOOK_URL=https://api.company.com/alerts
Mund uses YAML-based rules in rules/default.yaml. Example:
- id: openai_api_key
name: OpenAI API Key
type: secret
severity: critical
pattern: 'sk-[a-zA-Z0-9]{48}'
action: alert
enabled: true
- id: prompt_injection_ignore
name: Instruction Override Attempt
type: injection
severity: high
pattern: 'ignore\s+(previous|all|prior)\s+instructions'
action: alert
enabled: true
| Level | Action | Example |
|---|---|---|
critical | Block + Alert | API keys, private keys, MCP injection |
high | Alert | SSN, credit cards, jailbreak attempts |
medium | Log + Alert | Email addresses, suspicious URLs |
low | Log | IP addresses, potential obfuscation |
info | Log | Informational patterns |
