This article details significant security vulnerabilities found in the Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem, a standardized interface for AI agents. It outlines six critical attack vectors – OAuth vulnerabilities, command injection, unrestricted network access, file system exposure, tool poisoning, and secret exposure – and explains how Docker MCP Toolkit provides enterprise-grade protection against these threats.
Solomon Hykes, creator of Docker and CEO of Dagger, advocates for containerizing AI agents to manage complexity and enhance reusability. At Sourcegraph’s AI Tools Night, he demonstrated building an AI agent and a cURL clone using Dagger's container-based approach, emphasizing the benefits of standardization and debuggability.
