MCP Defender
Automatically protects MCP traffic in AI apps
🛡️ MCP Defender is a desktop app that protects AI apps like Cursor from a variety of attacks.
🚦 All MCP tool call requests and responses from AI apps are automatically proxied through MCP Defender.
🔎 The intercepted data is then checked against a set of signatures.
🔐 If anything harmful is detected, MCP Defender alerts you and asks if you want to allow or block the tool call.
