Mcpwatch
Gives Claude the ability to security audit any MCP server against the OWASP MCP Top 10 and return an A through F letter grade. Exposes four tools: scan_mcp_server runs 10 checks on a local server path looking for command injection, path traversal, SSRF, and prompt injection risks. get_public_score fetches live grades from the public leaderboard at mcpwatch.pages.dev. list_leaderboard returns top and bottom ranked servers, and explain_check details any of the 10 security tests. Also works as a CLI via npx mcpwatch-scanner or a GitHub Action that can gate CI/CD on minimum grade thresholds. Reach for this when vetting third party MCPs before adding them to your config or when you want to track security posture across the ecosystem.

MCPWatch
Have I Been Pwned for MCP servers. Open-source security scanner that audits MCP servers against the OWASP MCP Top 10 and produces an A–F letter grade.
Overview
MCPWatch is a security tool for the MCP ecosystem that:
- Runs 10 automated checks derived from the OWASP MCP Top 10 on any MCP server
- Produces an A–F letter grade with per-check findings
- Exposes an MCP server interface so AI agents can audit MCPs on demand
- Provides a CLI for pre-install scanning in CI/CD pipelines
- Powers a public leaderboard at mcpwatch.pages.dev with live SVG grade badges
Installation
Use with Claude Code / Cursor / Windsurf (MCP server)
Add to your MCP configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcpwatch": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcpwatch-mcp"]
}
}
