ModelContextProtocol-Security/modelcontextprotocol-security.io

This project serves as a documentation and policy hub rather than a technical product. Its primary value proposition is institutional authority (affiliated with the Cloud Security Alliance) rather than a technical moat. While the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is gaining significant traction following Anthropic's push, the security layer for such protocols is typically absorbed by the protocol creators themselves (Anthropic) or major cloud providers (AWS/GCP) through managed agent gateways. Quantitative signals (20 stars, low velocity) indicate that while it has a clear niche, it has not yet achieved the 'community lock-in' required for a higher defensibility score. The risk of obsolescence is high because as MCP matures, security will likely be baked into the SDKs or handled by enterprise-grade middleware (e.g., Zscaler, Palo Alto Networks) which would render a standalone 'best practices' site a secondary resource. Its best path to survival is becoming the de facto compliance standard that enterprises require for MCP deployments, similar to how CIS benchmarks operate.
