Bawbel Scanner

Overview

Bawbel Scanner is a security scanner for MCP servers and skill files that detects AVE vulnerabilities before they reach production. Any MCP-compatible AI assistant can invoke its tools directly during conversations or agent runs to identify security issues in your agentic systems.

The scanner runs locally on your machine via the uvx bawbel-scanner command, which installs the Python package and speaks MCP over stdio. No credentials or external services are required — it works out of the box. The latest release is v1.2.3, available at bawbel/scanner on GitHub where the project has 10 stars.

Bawbel Scanner is listed in the Security category on mcp.site and integrates with all major MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed.
