The Practical Guide for Securely Using Third-Party MCP Servers from the OWASP GenAI Security Project provides a detailed framework for safely deploying and managing external Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. It outlines the unique security risks introduced by connecting AI models to third-party tools and data sources, including tool poisoning, prompt injection, memory poisoning, and tool interference. The guide offers actionable mitigations covering authentication, authorization, client sandboxing, secure server discovery, and governance workflows, emphasizing least-privilege access and human-in-the-loop oversight.
