Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

We found things in this code

Code changes quietly between releases, and nobody reads the diff of a dependency. We do, on every release — watch AIShield Security Scanner and you get told the day something new turns up.

Available tools 10

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

aishield
aishield_banned_words
Chinese banned words detection — 6 platform rules
aishield_digest
Compact trust digest (aishield-digest/v1) — a few hundred bytes plus a content fingerprint, so an agent can answer 'can I trust this?' every turn without re-pulling the full report. Accepts {configs} (static analysis only), {scan_result}, or {source_url}. The returned `risk` is never lighter than the worst finding actually present (a config with high findings is never labelled 'safe'), and no plaintext credential is ever echoed back.
aishield_guardrail
Pre-install safety check — pass/block verdict
aishield_handshake
MCP handshake verification — analyze MCP config, detect npx auto-install, sensitive env vars, oversized tool descriptions, and attempt HTTP handshake
aishield_prompt_check
Prompt injection detection — Chinese + English
aishield_rug_pull
Rug pull detection — check if a tool has removed security code or added suspicious changes in recent commits
aishield_scan
OWASP MCP Top 10 aligned security scan — 235 rules, 5-dimension scoring
aishield_vertical_risk
Vertical-industry risk scan — detect high-risk claims for finance/medical/gov sectors (unlicensed diagnosis, illegal medical device, financial over-promise, etc.)
agent
agent_quick_scan
Agent-First quick scan — scan a tool by name and description, no source URL required
agent_register
Agent-First one-click onboarding — register as an Agent, get DID + API Key + quick start guide in a single call

AIShield Security Scanner — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can AIShield Security Scanner do?
It exposes 10 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: agent_quick_scan, agent_register, aishield_banned_words, aishield_digest, aishield_guardrail, aishield_handshake and 4 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is AIShield Security Scanner mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around aishield and agent. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is AIShield Security Scanner working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 866 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect AIShield Security Scanner?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does AIShield Security Scanner need an API key?
No. AIShield Security Scanner completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 10 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is AIShield Security Scanner?
It answers our handshake in 866 ms on average, which is faster than 7% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use AIShield Security Scanner?
The npm package aishield-mcp-server was installed 80 times in the last week. Week over week that is +70%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is AIShield Security Scanner open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 2 stars on GitHub and 10 open issues. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at aishield.tools, which runs on its operator's own terms.
