About mpak

The Problem

MCP servers have privileged access to AI agent execution environments. They can read files, execute code, call APIs, and access databases. Yet today, installing an MCP server means downloading unvetted code from scattered sources with no security scanning, no trust signals, and no standardized packaging.

General-purpose registries like npm and PyPI were not designed for this threat model. They don't scan for MCP-specific risks, don't surface trust scores, and don't provide the governance controls that enterprises need.

The MCP ecosystem needs a purpose-built registry with security at its core.
