The Problem Nobody's Talking About If you're building with AI agents in 2026, you're probably using MCP. Anthropic's Model Context Protocol has become the standard way for AI agents to interact with external tools - databases, browsers, file systems, APIs, email. Here's how it typically works: You find an MCP server on npm or GitHub You add it to your agent's config Your agent now has access to whatever that tool provides Notice what's missing: there's no verification step. No security review.
