At Storm MCP, security isn't an afterthought; it's the foundation. Every MCP server in our curated library undergoes continuous, automated security scanning to ensure it meets the high standards developers and enterprises expect.
In this post, we'll break down what our security scanning process looks like, why it matters, and how it benefits your workflows.
Why Security Vetting Matters
MCP servers are powerful. They can access APIs, process data, execute code, and handle authentication credentials. Without proper vetting, a single compromised tool on a MCP server could expose your data to security threats or compliance violations.
That's why we built security into the heart of Storm MCP from day one.
Our 3-Stage Security Vetting Process
<img src={securityProcessDiagram} alt="Security Process Diagram" className="w-full my-6 rounded-lg" />Stage 1: Automated Code Analysis
When a new MCP server is submitted, our systems immediately scan for:
- Known vulnerabilities in the codebase using pattern matching
- Insecure coding practices like SQL injection points or command injection risks
- Hardcoded secrets or exposed API keys
- Outdated dependencies checked against CVE databases
- License compatibility to ensure proper open-source usage
Stage 2: Dependency Security Check
Modern applications rely on countless dependencies. We analyze:
- The entire dependency tree, including sub-dependencies
- Security advisories for all packages
- Known vulnerabilities with CVSS scores
- Supply chain attack indicators
- Update frequency and maintenance status
Any high-severity vulnerabilities must be patched before approval.
Stage 3: Configuration & Access Review
Before approval, we verify:
- Secure authentication methods (OAuth 2.0, API keys)
- No exposed debug endpoints or test credentials
- Appropriate permission scoping
- Rate limiting and abuse prevention
Continuous Monitoring: Security Never Stops
Once approved, servers enter our continuous monitoring pipeline:
Daily Security Scans
- Automatic re-scanning against updated vulnerability databases
- New CVE detection within hours of publication
- Dependency update tracking and alerts
Version Control
- We pin MCP server versions
- Every update triggers a full security review
- Rollback capabilities for compromised versions
Community Protection
- Bug reporting system for security issues
- Rapid response team for critical vulnerabilities
- Transparent security advisories
What This Means for You
By the time you connect an MCP server through Storm MCP, you can trust that it:
- Has been reviewed for basic security hygiene.
- Contains no known high-severity vulnerabilities.
- Is actively monitored for new threats.
This means you spend less time worrying about server security and more time building with the confidence that your integrations are backed by a platform that takes safety seriously.
