Core Detection (Pattern + AST)

✅ SQL Injection (CWE-89) - String concatenation in SQL queries
✅ Command Injection (CWE-78) - os.system(), subprocess vulnerabilities
✅ Path Traversal (CWE-22) - ../ patterns in file operations
✅ XSS (CWE-79) - Unescaped user input in output
✅ Weak Cryptography (CWE-327) - MD5, SHA1, DES usage
✅ Hardcoded Secrets (CWE-798) - Shannon entropy-based detection
✅ Insecure Deserialization (CWE-502) - pickle.loads(), yaml.load()
✅ XXE (CWE-611) - XML external entity vulnerabilities
✅ Dangerous Functions - eval(), exec(), __import__()

Advanced Analysis (v1.5)

✅ Taint Analysis - Tracks data flow: user_input → eval() = CRITICAL
✅ Authentication Bypass - Detects if 1 == 1: and always-true conditions
✅ Crypto Misuse - Identifies weak RNGs: random.random() vs secrets
✅ Complexity Metrics - Cyclomatic complexity > 10 = maintainability risk

Output & Integration

✅ SARIF 2.1.0 - IDE integration (VS Code, JetBrains) + GitHub Code Scanning
✅ HTML Reports - Interactive Chart.js dashboards with severity breakdowns
✅ JSON/Markdown - Machine-readable APIs and human-friendly documentation
✅ CI/CD Ready - GitHub Actions, Jenkins (declarative/scripted), Bitbucket, GitLab

⚖️ Naming & Trademarks

"MCP Sentinel" is the project name chosen by the author. This project is independent and not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Microsoft Sentinel (the Microsoft Azure SIEM), SentinelOne, Redis Sentinel, HashiCorp Sentinel, or any other product that includes "Sentinel" in its name. "Sentinel" is a common, descriptive term in the security industry. GitHub, Claude, Anthropic, Snyk, Microsoft, and other product names mentioned in this repository are trademarks of their respective owners.

"MCP Sentinel" is also a name at least six other, unrelated public repositories currently use — soy-rafa/claude-mcp-sentinel, BashaarJavaid/MCP-Sentinel, mizcausevic-dev/mcp-sentinel-dashboard, wdm0006/mcp-sentinel, and GCS-ZHN/mcp-sentinel among them. None of these projects are affiliated with each other; this disclaimer approach follows the same pattern soy-rafa's repo uses to head off the same collision. If you found this repo looking for one of theirs (or vice versa), here's how they differ:

vs. claude-mcp-sentinel (soy-rafa): same "Sentinel" name, unrelated codebase, different layer entirely. It intercepts live tool calls inside Claude Code at the moment of execution, fail-open, to protect the person running the agent. This repo statically analyzes an MCP server's own source and protocol surface before anyone deploys or connects to it, and can fail closed in CI. Different layer, same name — complementary, not competing. A security-conscious team can run both.
