Hi HN!
We kept seeing devs get pwned through MCP tools in ways that security scanners completely miss. So we built an open-source analyzer to catch these attacks. Our first OSS by Mighty team.
The problem: At Defcon, we saw MCP exploits with 100% success rate against Claude and Llama. Three attack patterns:

Have you heard this one before? A scrappy entertainment company launches a small catalog of ad-free streaming movies and TV shows for cheap. It doesn’t seem like a big deal at first, because the content is mostly B-movies and reruns, but it proves popular with consumers and goes on to change television entertainment as we know it.

The challenge of finding the perfect metaphor—one that’s clear, culturally sensitive, and future-proof—is what makes designing these miniature artifacts so fascinating. Look at any software interface and you’ll find a constellation of them, each trying to say something without saying a word.

Reduced to a minimum, they became more abstract and conceptual represe
