SAFE-MCP Protocol

SAFE-MCP Protocol Implementation

Learn how AZTP Client implements the SAFE-MCP (Security Framework for Model Context Protocol) to protect AI agents from sophisticated attacks.

Overview

The SAFE-MCP protocol addresses critical security vulnerabilities in AI agent ecosystems, as highlighted by recent attacks like the Alibaba MCP attack (opens in a new tab). AZTP Client provides production-ready implementations of key SAFE-MCP techniques.
