# MCP Scanner

A Python tool for scanning MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and tools for potential security findings. The MCP Scanner combines Cisco AI Defense inspect API, YARA rules and LLM-based analysis to detect malicious MCP tools.

## Overview

The MCP Scanner provides a comprehensive solution for scanning MCP servers and tools for security findings. It leverages three powerful scanning engines (Yara, LLM-based analysis, Cisco AI Defense) that can be used together or independently.

The SDK is designed to be easy to use while providing powerful scanning capabilities, flexible authentication options, and customization.

## Features

- **Multiple Modes:** Run scanner as a stand-alone CLI tool or REST API server
- **Multi-Engine Security Analysis**: Use all three scanning engines together or independently based on your needs.
- **Vulnerable Packages Scanning**: Scan Python dependencies for known vulnerabilities (CVE/PYSEC/GHSA) using pip-audit integration.
- **Readiness Scannin
