Empirical study of 2,214 MCP servers finds 9.93% of 19,200 description-code pairs inconsistent via a new static-analysis-plus-LLM-prompting framework, with security implications.
Presents a component-centric PoC dataset of malicious MCP servers and a two-stage behavioral deviation detector Connor achieving 94.6% F1-score.
Catalogues five MCP server architectural patterns observed across fifteen servers, plus anti-patterns and quantitative measurements on tool handling and overhead.
BIV audits AI agent skills at scale, finding 80% deviate from declared behavior on 49,943 skills and achieving 0.946 F1 for malicious skill detection.
VIPER-MCP detects and exploits taint-style vulnerabilities in Model Context Protocol servers via anchor-query static analysis and feedback-driven prompt evolution, uncovering 106 zero-day vulnerabilities across 39,884 repositories with 67 CVEs assigned.
Introduces Task2MCP dataset and T2MRec model for recommending MCP servers to LLM agents based on task semantics and engineering constraints.
