Semgrep eventsAs another Hacker Summer Camp rolls around, it seems all anyone could talk about is AI, and with how quickly it’s touched every industry, including software, it’s focus at the biggest security event of the year is perhaps not surprising. However one element of the AI tech stack definitely took center stage, it seemed like all anyone was talking about was AI Agents and the MCP servers that power them.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the USB C of the AI world, it allows AI Agents to interact with applications outside of the LLM knowledge bank. From helping generate code in cursor, to booking flights on your behalf. MCP allows AI to escape the confines of the chat window and enter a space that traditionally was reserved for APIs and applications. And we’ve joined in to! Launching our own MCP server that allows LLMs to find and fix security issues in generated code.
Takeaways:
We’ll deep dive into MCP servers for security teams: hyped or hinderance? We’ll cover what they are, where they’re used, and how to secure them
How you can leverage MCP in your organization to level-up your security and developer tools (and why your developers are probably already using them!)
And, we’ll answer the grand question: is MCP another AI hype-train that will struggle to deliver real value, your trusty partner on your quest to security or the battlefield for your next security incident
