Say Yes To MCP, Safely A Guide For Governing AI Coding Agents With Evo ADS

Snyk’s Evo Agentic Development Security introduces MCP Governance to help organizations manage the growing use of Model Context Protocol servers, which its research found were widely deployed across nearly 10,000 developer environments and sometimes carried high or critical risks. The approach begins with discovering MCP servers both on developer endpoints and in source repositories, then centralizing inventory details such as origin, usage, approval status, authentication, and risk findings. Evo ADS assigns risk scores based on server behavior, trust indicators, and, when available, implementation and dependency analysis, while noting that some unsigned servers cannot be confidently scored. Organizations can create an allowlist, monitor policies before enforcement to understand potential workflow effects, and ultimately block unapproved high- or critical-risk servers locally at runtime while allowing lower-risk unapproved servers to continue operating in log mode. Snyk presents the process as a phased way to balance developer access to MCP capabilities with centralized security oversight, with plans to extend similar controls to agent skills, sensitive-data access, prompt injection, and secret exposure.
