As AI agents plug into more tools and internal systems, the Model Context
Protocol (MCP) is becoming a core part of how modern platforms work. With
this shift comes a fastgrowing challenge: understanding the new attack
surfaces created when probabilistic models interact with real APIs, data,
and networks. This book gives practitioners a clear, practical guide to
navigating that emerging threat landscape by showing how MCP architectures
behave in production and where hidden risks often appear. The book begins
by mapping todays MCP trust boundaries and explaining why traditional
security assumptions dont hold when the client is an LLM. Youll explore
real attack stories and handson labs demonstrating toolpoisoning
techniques, signature cloaking, and samplingbased abuses. Youll then learn
how attackers target the surrounding environment through DNS rebinding,
malicious MCP servers, and confuseddeputy patterns that turn
overpermissioned tools into highimpact attack paths. From there, the book
provides defensive approaches built on schemas, contracts, monitoring,
least privilege, and continuous redteam testing. Each chapter helps you
apply the ideas to real deployments. Drawing on active MCP security
research and realworld agent testing, this book offers a focused roadmap
for securing the next generation of AI systems. What You Will Learn
Understand how MCP architectures function in real AI agent systems Identify
trust boundaries and map emerging attack surfaces Use samplingbased and
elicitationbased techniques to assess model behavior Protect MCP
environments from DNS rebinding and confuseddeputy risks Who This Book is
For This book is for security engineers, AI platform teams, redteamers,
DevSecOps practitioners, MCP implementers, agentframework developers, and
technical leaders responsible for securing AIdriven systems and LLMpowered
applications.
