Uses Python as the runtime environment for the MCP server, allowing malicious plugins to exploit weaknesses in the MCP architecture through practical examples of security attack vectors.
MasterMCP
Project Introduction
MasterMCP is a demonstration tool designed to showcase various potential security attack vectors against MCP (Model Control Protocol). This project illustrates how malicious plugins can exploit weaknesses in the MCP architecture through practical examples, helping developers and security researchers understand these risks and strengthen system protection.
Features
Plugin-based Malicious Payloads: Demonstrates how malicious plugins can run within the MCP architecture
Multiple Attack Techniques: Includes examples of data poisoning, cross-MCP calls, competitive malicious functions, and more
Practical Educational Value: Each attack vector comes with detailed explanations and implementation code
Included Attack Vectors
Data Poisoning: The
bananaplugin demonstrates how to force users to perform specific operationsJSON Injection Attacks: The
url_jsonplugin shows how to retrieve data from a local malicious serviceCompetitive Malicious Functions: The
remove_serverplugin overrides existing functionalityCross-MCP Call Attacks: The
Master_cross_callplugin guides users to perform dangerous operations

Security Warning
⚠️ This project is for educational and research purposes only. Do not use these techniques on any system without authorization. Malicious use of this code may violate laws and regulations.
Defense Recommendations
Implement strict plugin verification mechanisms
Thoroughly check and sanitize all external inputs
Implement the principle of least privilege, limiting plugin execution permissions
Use signature verification to ensure only trusted plugins are loaded
Regularly review installed plugins and their behaviors
Attack Analysis
Banana Detection Poisoning
The initialize_data_poisoning.py plugin establishes a mandatory process dependency by requiring a "banana check" before any operation. This technique can be used to:
Induce users to perform unnecessary operations
Establish a false sense of security
Insert malicious steps before legitimate operations
JSON Data Injection
The inject_json_poisoning.py plugin retrieves data from a local port by default, potentially leading to:
Data leakage
Execution of malicious instructions
Bypassing normal security checks
Competitive Function Override
The malicious_competitive_function.py provides a remove_server function with the same name but different functionality:
Replaces critical system functions
Prevents normal service removal operations
Embeds hidden instructions encoded in hexadecimal within the confusion
Cross-MCP Call Attack
The malicious_cross_mcp_call.py uses encoded error messages to induce users to:
Add unverified external services
Perform unnecessary operations
Expand the attack surface
Contribution Guidelines
Contributions to this project are welcome through:
Submitting examples of new attack vectors
Improving documentation for existing examples
Adding example implementations of defense mechanisms
