SlowMist MCP Checklist
Testing & AuditCommunity security checklist and audit framework for MCP deployments.
Visit websiteWhat it solves
Many teams shipping MCP integrations have no security review process at all — not because they rejected one, but because they never had a concrete list to work from. This open-source checklist from security firm SlowMist gives you a structured set of MCP-specific audit points to review against.
How it works
The checklist is a community-maintained document covering MCP attack surfaces and the controls that address them. You use it as a review framework during design review or pre-launch audits, checking each item against your deployment and recording gaps.
Pros & cons
Pros
- Free and open — a credible starting point when you have no MCP security process today.
- Written by a security firm with real audit experience.
- Easy to adapt into your own review template.
Considerations
- A checklist finds nothing by itself — someone has to actually run the review.
- Coverage depends on community maintenance; verify it is current before relying on it.
- No automation, reporting, or remediation tracking.
When to choose it
Use it as your baseline MCP audit framework, then pair it with our one-page MCP Security Checklist PDF for team reviews and with automated tooling where possible.
