Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Model Context Protocol?
MCP is an open protocol that lets AI applications connect to external tools, data and prompts through a standard client-server interface, so agents can take actions beyond text generation.
What is the MCP attack surface?
It includes malicious or compromised servers, poisoned tool descriptions, over-broad permissions, prompt injection through tool output and weak authentication. Each connection widens what an attacker can reach.
Is MCP secure?
MCP itself is a protocol, so security depends on implementation, permissions and trust in servers. The Codelivly fundamentals room is free and advanced, covering its security model and common risks hands-on.
