The Six Pillars of MCP
Open Until: 10/15/2026
This paper introduces a comprehensive "Six Pillars" framework for Model Context Protocol (MCP) security, providing a structured approach for organizations to understand and mitigate risks associated with MCP adoption. Similar to DevSecOps principles, each pillar represents a critical domain of security considerations, encompassing governance, access control, data management, operational integration, third-party risks, and accountability. This framework offers detailed discussions on potential attacks, vulnerabilities, and best practices within each domain, serving as a foundational guide for a broad audience, from technical professionals to decision-makers, to foster secure and responsible AI integration.
