BakeLens/crust (355 stars) — Go-based transparent gateway that intercepts agent tool calls and blocks dangerous actions via hot-reloadable YAML rules. Fills the critical gap between static code scanning and full VM isolation. Define rules like "block all file writes outside /tmp" and the gateway enforces them at the tool call level, regardless of what the agent tries to do.
jingkaihe/matchlock (460 stars) — MicroVM sandbox using Firecracker/Apple Virtualization Framework with MITM proxy for secret injection. Credentials never enter the VM — they're injected at the proxy layer during outbound requests. HN front page. This is the Docker-for-agent-sandboxing approach: each agent gets a lightweight VM with network-level secret management.
praetorian-inc/MCPHammer — First open-source MCP security testing framework with server chaining demos, content injection, and exfil PoCs. If you deploy MCP servers, this is your validation tool.

MCP server exposing 150+ cybersecurity tools for AI agents: nmap, sqlmap, ffuf, and 147 others. Covers pentesting, vulnerability discovery, and bug bounty automation. Works with Claude, GPT, Copilot — any MCP-compatible agent. Docker support included. Add it to your MCP config...
The Model Context Protocol has a security problem that's no longer theoretical — it's statistical. Between January and February 2026, researchers filed 30+ CVEs against MCP servers, clients, and infrastructure. One package with nearly 500,000 downloads carried a CVSS 9.6 RCE....
Each project gets a throwaway VM where the agent has full tool access to Docker, git, compilers and package managers with no path back to the host (GitHub). coop setup installs Firecracker and a guest kernel on Linux; macOS goes through Lima via Homebrew. Usage is coop up then...
The project stores project memory as Markdown with YAML frontmatter in a knowledge/ directory, searches it with in-memory BM25, and exposes it through an embedded MCP server, sitting between ad-hoc CLAUDE.md files and black-box vector stores. It claims 80% token reduction via...
