​Event: SAFE-Model Context Protocol Contributor Gathering
Date: August-18, 2025, 5:00-7:00 PM

Join us for the fourth contributor gathering and deep-dive discussion of the SAFE-Model Context Protocol (SAFE-MCP), security guideline developed by Frederick Kautz to address vulnerabilities in the Model Context Protocol (MCP) pioneered by Anthropic. The SAFE-MCP developer community is led by Arjun Subedi. If you want to contribute to SAFE-MCP join discord channel.

SAFE-MCP specifically tackles critical security concerns arising from AI agents interacting with external tools, data sources, and workflows.

​Key MCP Security Challenges addressed by SAFE-MCP:

• ​Prompt Injection and Unauthorized Tool Execution

• ​Excessive OAuth Permissions and Token Management

• ​Third-party MCP Server Risks

• ​Supply-Chain Vulnerabilities and Tool Poisoning
  

​Frederick Kautz, a recognized authority in cloud-native security, leads this initiative. His distinguished background includes:

• ​Co-authoring NIST Special Publication 800-204D, foundational in software supply chain security.

• ​Co-founding Network Service Mesh, transforming secure cloud-native networking.

• ​Leadership in KubeCon + CloudNativeCon and Zero Trust architectures.

• ​SPIFFE Steering Committee Member
