SafeMCP Gateway Blocks AI Agents from Abusing Your Filesystem
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets AI agents access local files and run commands, but prompt injection can lead to path traversal or code execution.

The tool acts as a proxy between AI clients and MCP servers, enforcing security rules at the transport level.
