MCP Risk Review
48-hour MCP security decision before an avoidable rollout mistake.
Founder-led narrow review for teams already connecting MCP into sensitive AI workflows and wanting a clear go, fix, or escalate decision fast.
Fixed investment: $3K. Typical duration: 48 hours.
Started from: MCP Risk Review buyer brief. That context will stay attached if you preview the brief, reserve, or request the async lane from here.
Reserve the narrow lane if the MCP problem is already clear. If direct checkout is not enabled, the reserve path falls back to the fit-call flow. If the risk is broader than one MCP decision, escalate into a Technical Audit instead of forcing this fixed-scope review. Open the mcp-scan proof surface first if you want to inspect the public proof path before you start.
What you get in the 48-hour review
- 48-hour manual review of MCP configs, tool permissions, and obvious exposure paths
- Prioritized remediation memo across secrets, prompt injection, supply chain, and network egress risk
- Clear decision: safe to proceed, fix before rollout, or escalate into a deeper Technical Audit
Best fit when
- You are already connecting MCP servers or AI tool clients into a real workflow
- One bad configuration could leak secrets, over-expand permissions, or create rollout risk
- You need a fast human decision before a broader implementation or security project starts
Not fit when
- You are not using MCP yet
- You need a full application security program instead of a narrow MCP decision
- The work already includes broad architecture risk that belongs in a Technical Audit
If the risk is broader than MCP configuration and permissions, move into Technical Audit.
How the 48 hours run
Hour 0: scope lock
Confirm the MCP clients, servers, credential flow, and rollout pressure so the review stays narrow and decision-ready.
Hours 1-24: configuration and exposure review
Inspect MCP configs, tool permissions, obvious secrets exposure, prompt injection paths, supply chain risk, and network egress assumptions.
Hours 24-48: remediation memo and decision
Return a prioritized memo with a clear go, fix, or escalate recommendation and the shortest safe next move.
If the review finds broader risk
The honest next move is a deeper Technical Audit or a full Product Build, depending on whether the problem is clarity-first or implementation-first. This lane exists to stop small MCP mistakes from turning into larger security or delivery failures.
