The Damn Vulnerable Model Context Protocol (DVMCP) is designed to demonstrate security vulnerabilities in MCP implementations. It features 10 challenges of increasing difficulty that illustrate common weaknesses such as prompt injection, tool poisoning, permission exploitation, and more. This project aims to help security researchers, developers, and AI safety professionals understand potential threats and mitigation strategies in MCP systems. By intentionally including vulnerabilities, it provides a hands-on environment for testing attack techniques and improving security measures in MCP deployments.
