TL,DR: "MCP is powerful enough to do useful things. That's not OK. Somebody might get hacked."

Another article accurately critiquing the short-comings of this terrible "spec".

This is exactly why MCP is hardly a mature standard and was not designed to be secure at all making it acceptable for AI agents to claim to execute commands but could also be stealing your credentials or running a totally different command such or could download malware.

The spec appears to to be designed by 6 month-old vibe-coding developers learning Javascript with zero scrutiny rather than members of the IETF at leading companies with maximum scrutiny.

Next time, Anthropic should consult professionals that have developed mature standards for decades and learn from bad standards such as JWT and Oauth.
