MCP: Revolution or Security Regression

Abstract

Model Context Protocol (MCP) has rapidly become the backbone of modern LLM applications, enabling powerful multi-tool and multi-app workflows. But with this new capability comes a new class of security risks. I will explore where MCP genuinely pushes innovation forward and where it may quietly reintroduce old vulnerabilities under new names.
