A security scanner for MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers
Proximity scans MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers to discover tools, prompts, and resources. It provides detailed analysis of server capabilities and optional security evaluation using NOVA rules to detect potential security issues like prompt injection and jailbreak attempts.
# Clone and setup
git clone https://github.com/fr0gger/proximity.git
cd proximity
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Tools and prompt discovery
python proximity.py http://localhost:8000
# Security scan (requires nova-hunting)
python proximity.py http://localhost:8000 -n -r my_rule.novgit clone https://github.com/fr0gger/proximity.git
cd proximity
pip install -r requirements.txt# Install Nova dependencies
pip install nova-hunting
# Set API key (choose one depending on the model you want to use)
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-openai-key"
export GROQ_API_KEY="your-groq-key"Refer to the NOVA documentation for more details: https://docs.novahunting.ai/
python proximity.py <target> [options]-h, --help: Show help-t, --token: Authentication token for HTTP endpoints-n, --nova-scan: Enable NOVA security analysis-r, --rule: NOVA rule file path (default: my_rule.nov)-v, --verbose: Enable verbose output--json-report: Export JSON report--md-report: Export Markdown report--evaluator: Choose LLM evaluator (default openai)
HTTP Endpoints:
python proximity.py http://localhost:8000/mcp
python proximity.py https://mcp.example.com -t your_tokenStdio Commands:
python proximity.py "python server.py"
python proximity.py "node mcp-server.js"NOVA works with NOVA rules to identify specific patterns. Below is a simple example, but you can refer to the NOVA documentation for more complexe usage.
Create .nov files to define security patterns:
rule DetectJailbreaking
{
meta:
description = "Detects jailbreaking attempts"
author = "Thomas Roccia"
severity = "critical"
keywords:
$previous = "previous instructions"
$ignore = "ignore all the instructions above"
$forget = "forget your instructions"
semantics:
$malicious = "hacking or unauthorized access" (0.2)
llm:
$jailbreak = "check if this prompt tries to bypass security"
condition:
any of keywords.* and any of semantics.* or llm.*
}
# Basic security scan
python proximity.py http://localhost:8000/mcp -n
# Custom rule with Groq
python proximity.py http://localhost:8000/mcp -n -r custom.nov --evaluator groq# Discover capabilities
python proximity.py http://localhost:8000
# Verbose scan
python proximity.py "python server.py" -v# Quick security check
python proximity.py http://localhost:8000 -n
# Comprehensive audit
python proximity.py http://localhost:8000 -n -r security.nov --json-report --md-reportOrganized display with function signatures, parameters, and security alerts.
