Koskamo

shadow-mcp

A local-first MCP server that discovers, inventories, and risk-grades other MCP servers present on the machine. It aggregates configurations from sources like Claude Code, Codex, and project files, then grades them using engines like MCPAudit and mcp-trust to identify shadow servers and security risks.
