How Noma MCP server security works

MCP discovery

Noma discovers every MCP server across your organization: which servers are installed, which agents they connect to, which tools they expose, and how they're configured. Shadow MCP servers that employees installed without approval are surfaced alongside sanctioned ones, so security teams see the full picture.

Supply chain risk assessment

Each MCP server is assessed for AI-specific supply chain risks that code scanners don't cover: unpinned versions that auto-download the latest package on every invocation (rug pull exposure), excessive tool permissions (root or sudo access), low-trust packages with minimal community adoption, known vulnerabilities, and secrets exposure. Noma flags toxic combinations where multiple risks compound, like a low-health package with unpinned versions connected to production systems.

 MCP registry and access governance

Define which MCP servers are approved, which require review, and which are blocked. Policies are scoped by server, by individual tool, and by user group. An approved MCP server doesn't mean every tool it exposes is approved: Noma lets you allow the server but disable specific tools for certain agents or users. When someone connects to an unapproved server, it gets flagged or blocked before any data flows.

Runtime detection of tool poisoning

MCP-specific attacks happen at runtime, inside tool responses that static scanners never see. A compromised server embeds instructions in its responses that hijack agent behavior, redirect tool calls, or exfiltrate data through the agent's own actions. Noma monitors tool call responses in real time and detects embedded prompt injection, exfiltration patterns, and cross-server shadowing before the agent acts on them.

Noma research: ContextCrush

Noma's research team discovered ContextCrush, a vulnerability in Context7, one of the most widely used MCP servers (50,000+ GitHub stars, 8M+ npm downloads). Anyone could register a library on the Context7 platform and set "Custom Rules" that were served verbatim to every developer querying that library. The full attack chain, from registration to credential exfiltration, took minutes.

FAQs

What is MCP security?

MCP security is the discovery, risk assessment, governance, and runtime protection of MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers: the connectors that give AI agents access to tools, data, and systems.

What risks do MCP servers introduce?

Unpinned versions that auto-pull compromised updates, excessive tool permissions, low-trust packages, secrets exposure, and tool poisoning, where a compromised server embeds instructions in its responses to hijack agent behavior.

What is tool poisoning and can Noma detect it?

Tool poisoning is an attack where an MCP server's responses carry hidden instructions that redirect an agent's behavior. Noma monitors tool call responses in real time and detects embedded prompt injection and exfiltration patterns before the agent acts.

Can I approve an MCP server but block specific tools?

Yes. Noma scopes policy by server, by individual tool, and by user group, so you can allow a server while disabling specific tools for certain agents or users.

How does Noma find shadow MCP servers?

Noma discovers every MCP server across the organization, including ones employees installed without approval, and shows which agents connect to each server and which tools it exposes.
