Damn Vulnerable MCP Server Demo

A simplier implementation of a Damn Vulnerable MCP Server that adds to or more numbers

Overview

The MCP Server Demo is a demonstration of excessive agency that could lead to Remote Code Execution (RCE) if the MCP were running on an external server. 🛡️

Features

🚀 Basic MCP server implementation.
📂 Demonstrates server functionality with server.py.

Warning

⚠️ This project is a vulnerable MCP server designed to demonstrate how poor implementation practices can lead to security issues. It is intended for educational purposes only.

❌ Do not use this project in production environments.

Prerequisites

🐍 Python 3.10 or higher.
💡 A virtual environment is recommended for managing dependencies.

Installation

📥 Clone the repository:
git clone <repository-url> cd DVMCP
📦 Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

▶️ Link the MCP Server with Copilot:
vscode://settings/mcp
Add the server configuration to the settings.json file in VS Code:
"servers": { "DVMCP": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "run", "--with", "mcp[cli]", "mcp", "run", "/Users/pfelilpe/Documents/DVMCP/server.py" ], "env": {} } }
Click on Start Server.
Interact with Copilot in Agent mode, for example:
1+1 with addition
Experiment with code injection to explore potential OS Injection vulnerabilities... 🕵️‍♂️
You can find a safer implementation of this simpler MCP at /safe/server.py. 🔒

Adding MCP to Your Python Project

We recommend using uv to manage your Python projects. 🛠️

If you haven't created a uv-managed project yet, initialize one:

uv init mcp-server-demo
cd mcp-server-demo

Then add MCP to your project dependencies:

uv add "mcp[cli]"

Alternatively, for projects using pip for dependencies:

pip install "mcp[cli]"

Running the Standalone MCP Development Tools

To run the mcp command with uv:

uv run mcp
