Safe MCP list
How to Build a Safe MCP List
For a team using MCP, letting individuals add servers freely is not enough. Build a registry of safe MCP servers and define criteria for adoption, updates, and removal.
Fields to record in the registry
Record the server name, publisher, purpose, permissions, last scan date, status, approver, using team, and update history.
- Server name
- Publisher URL
- Purpose
- Permission scope
- Last scan date
- Approver
Approval flow
Before use, scan each new MCP server, review risky tools and dependencies, and review detailed Pro inspection evidence when needed.
- Request
- Scan
- Review
- Approval
- Continuous monitoring
Operational requirements
A safe list is not complete once it is created. Reassess after updates, make prohibited servers explicit, and retain audit logs.
- Regular rescans
- Prohibited list
- Team sharing
- Audit logs
